week 12

Question 0

an abnormal activation of the proteins involved in blood coagulation, causing small blood clots to form in vessels and cutting off the supply of oxygen to the distal tissues.

Answer 0

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)

Question 1

Substance, recognized as harmful to the host that stimulates formation of antibodies in an immunocompetent individual.

Answer 1

antigen

Question 2

overproduction of platelets, leading to thrombosis or bleeding in the bone marrow or increased destruction of platelets in the blood vessels (intravascular) or liver (extravascular). A common sign of thrombocytopenia is the development of pinpoint hemorrhages called petechiae that appear on the lower leg.

Answer 2

thrombocytopenia

Question 3

any disease of the lymph nodes

Answer 3

Lymphadenopathy

Question 4

monospot

Answer 4

nonspecific rapid serological test for the presence of the heterophile antibody, which develops several days after infection by Epstein-Barr virus, the organism that caused infectious mononucleosis.

Question 5

sepsis

Answer 5

presence of bacteria or their toxins in the blood; also called septicemia or blood poisoning.

Question 7

localized accumulation of blood, usually clotted, in an organ, space, or tissue due to a break in or severing of a blood vessel.

Answer 7

hematoma

Question 8

dissolve blood clots by destroying their fibrin strands (typically used to break up thrombi in coronary, pulmonary, and cerebral arteries).

Answer 8

thrombolytic

Question 9

Lymphadenopathy

Answer 9

Any disease of the lymph nodes

Question 11

enlargement of the spleen

Answer 11

splenomegaly

Question 12

antigen

Answer 12

Substance, recognized as harmful to the host that stimulates formation of antibodies in an immunocompetent individual.

Question 13

ANA

Answer 13

Test to identify antibodies that attack the nucleus of the individual’s own body cells (auto-antibodies)

Question 15

(also known as Hodgkin lymphoma) a malignant disease of the lymph system primarily the lymph nodes, usually remains only in neighboring nodes, it may spread to the spleen, GI tract, liver or bone marrow.

Answer 15

Hodgkin disease

Question 16

DVT

Answer 16

Deep vein thrombosis

blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body. Blood clots occur when blood thickens and clumps together.

Question 17

schilling test

Answer 17

test used to diagnose pernicious anemia by determining if the body properly absorbs vitamin B 12, through the digestive tract.

Question 18

thromboctopenia

Answer 18

overproduction of platelets, leading to thrombosis or bleeding in the bone marrow or increased destruction of platelets in the blood vessels (intravascular) or liver (extravascular). A common sign of thrombocytopenia is the development of pinpoint hemorrhages called petechiae that appear on the lower leg.

Question 20

BMT

Answer 20

Bone marrow transplant
a procedure to replace damaged or destroyed soft, fatty tissue inside your bones with healthy immature cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all of your blood cells.

Question 21

Hodgkin disease

Answer 21

a malignant disease of the lymph system primarily the lymph nodes, usually remains only in neighboring nodes, it may spread to the spleen, GI tract, liver or bone marrow.

Question 22

Answer 22
