(sickle-shaped RBC's: lack/of blood)

Back 29

Hereditary, chronic, hemo/lytic an/emia. Large numbers of sickle-shaped or crescent red bloom cells (trait exists without disease).

Most often seen in black population (1/500) but also seen in Hispanic (1/1500)

Sickle cells cause clots and clumping which are part of a true sickle cell crisis.

Front 30

A/plastic An/emia

(without/formation: lack of/blood)

Usually occur in arteries.

Aneurysm

(ballooning; dilation; to widen)

Back 73

Widening or ballooning of a blood vessel (13 different types)

Localized dilation of blood vessel, usually an artery, due to congenital defect or weakening of wall of vessel.

For example, in aorta, arteriosclerosis causes weakening of blood vessel and leads to hypertension.

Ather/oma

(yellowish fatty plaques/swelling)

Back 75

A mass of atheromat/ous placing material lining the lumen of an artery. Changes occur within lining cells and/or between these lining cells.

Simple form of arteriosclerosis with tiny athr/oma deposits within and beneath tunica intima.

Leads to heart attacks and strokes which cause 45%-50% of all deaths in the US/year.
