RT 306 Flashcards
bleeding due to rupture of blood vessel
HEMORRHAGE
-occur when small blood vessels leak under the skin. measures aboutb4 and 10 millimeters in diameter
PURPURA
CAUSES OF HEMORRHAGE
Trauma
• ATHEROSCLEROSIS
•INFLAMMATION
• NEOPLASM
prychological or physiological responses to pain, injury, etc.
•TRAUMA
accumulation of fatty placks in the blood vessels wall due to excessive amount. cholesterol food.
•ATHEROSCLEROSIS
-response to cellular injury
Inflammation
abnormal growth tissue that can be benign or malignant
•NEOPLASM
4 HEMORRHAGE WITHIN BODY TISSUES
HEMATOMA
• PETECHIAE
• PURPURA
•ECCHYMOSIS
happen when an injury. causes blood to collect. and pool under the skin
HEMATOMA
areas of hemorrhage under into dermis. less than 4mm in diameter
PETECHIAE
Larger than petechiae
PURPURA
extravasation of blood into subcutaneous true is defined as purpura. with a size of more than 1cm
ECCHYMOSIS
WHAT ARE THE HEMORRHAGE WITHIN BODY CAVITIES
HEMOTHORAX
HEMOPERICARDIUM
HEMOPERITENEUM
HEMARTHROSIS
presence of blood in thoracic cavity (chest)
HEMOTHORAX
presence of blood in pericardial cavity (cavity containing heart)
HEMOPERICARDIUM
blood in peritoneal cavity. (abdominal)
HEMOPERITENUM
presence of blood in joints
HEMARTHROSIS
abnormal growth of Cells which compete with normal cells and tissues for metabolic needs
