Chapter 7 - Care Of The Patient With A Blood Or Lymphatic Disorder

Front 1

Two of the body's most important function

Back 1

Transportation & Protection

Front 2

Systems that provide transportation and protections

Back 2

Circulatory & Lymphatic system

Front 3

What is blood

Back 3

Viscous, red fluid that contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets suspended in a light yellow fluid called plasma.

Front 4

Composition of Plasma

Back 4

55% of the bloods volume. Remaining 45% is composed of blood cells and platelets

Front 5

Blood PH range

Back 5

7.35 to 7.45

Front 6

Average adult blood volume

Back 6

5 to 6

Hint 6

5 to 6 L

Front 7

Critical functions of blood

Back 7

1) transports oxygen and nutrition to cells and waste products away from the cell, and transport hormornes from endocrine glands to tissues and glands
2) regulate acid-base balance (pH)
3) protects body against infection with special cells and prevent blood loss with special clotting mechanisms

Front 8

What gives blood there rich color

Back 8

Erythrocytes (RBCs)

Front 9

A mature RBC contains

Back 9

Cytoplasm and red pigment hemoglobin

Front 10

Hemoglobin content is expressed as

Back 10

Normochromic or hypochromix anemia

Front 11

RBC size is expressed as

Back 11

Macrocytic, microcytic, or normocytic

Front 12

Normal hemoglobin level for men

Back 12

14 to 18 g/dL

Front 13

Normal hemoglobin level for women

Back 13

12 to 16 g/dL

Front 14

Average life spans of RBC

Back 14

120 days

Front 15

Principal function of Erythrocytes

Back 15

Transport oxygen and carbon dioxide

Front 16

Production in erythrocytes takes place in

Back 16

Red bone marrow, in the vertebrae, ribs, sternum, and proximal ends of the humerus and femur

Front 17

Erythropoiesis

Back 17

Process of RBC production

Front 18

Hematocrit

Back 18

Measure of the packed cell volume of RBCs, expressed as a percentage of the total blood volume.

Front 19

Leukocytes

Back 19

WBCs. Have nuclei, colorless, and live from a few days to several years.

Front 20

Number of WBCs

Back 20

5000 to 10,000/mm^3 of blood

Front 21

Two broad categories of WBCs

Back 21

Granulocytes and nongranulocytes

Front 22

Three types of granulocytes

Back 22

Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils

Front 23

Differential white blood cell count

Back 23

Examination in which the different kinds of WBCs are counted and reported as percentages of the total examined

Front 24

Wrights stain

Back 24

A chemical solution

Front 25

Neutrophils

Back 25

Granular circulating leukocytes essential for phagocytosis

Front 26

Primary phagocytic cells involved in acute inflammatory response

Back 26

Neutrophils

Front 27

Mature neutrophil

Back 27

Segmental neutrophil "seg"

Front 28

Normal value of neutrophils

Back 28

60% to 70%

Front 29

Bands

Back 29

Immature neutrophils

Front 30

Bandemia

Back 30

Increase in the number of band neutrophils

Front 31

Eosinophils

Back 31

WBCs that play a role in allergic reactions, effective against certain parasitic worms

Front 32

Normal values of eosinophils

Back 32

1% to 4%

Front 33

Basophils

Back 33

WBCs that are essential to the nonspecific immune response to inflammation because they release histamine (vasodilator) during tissue damage or invasion

Front 34

Normal values of basophils

Back 34

0.5% to 1%

Front 35

Monocytes

Back 35

WBCs that function like neutrophils; circulatr in the bloodstream and move into tissue, engulfing antigens and cell debris
