BIO 322 EXAM 2 GCU UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers



MCV mean cell volume, determines if a cell is microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic


MCHC mean cell hemoglobin concentration, determines if cell is hypochromic or
normochromic


acute blood loss anemia cause bleeding (GI bleed, trauma, ulcer..)


acute blood loss anemia S/S decreased hematocrit, normocytic normochromic (normal MCV, normal MCHC)
erythropoietin produced by kidney


chronic blood loss anemia patho -ability to produce RBCs<RBC loss
-iron stores run out -> iron deficiency anemia


chronic blood loss anemia S/S microcytic hypochromic (low MCV, low MCH, low MCHC)


iron deficiency anemia causes -decreased Fe intake ->dietary lack, impaired absorption (celiac disease)
-chronic blood loss -> chronic NSAID use, menorrhagia, PUD


iron deficiency anemia S/S fatigue, pallor, koilonychia, angular cheilitis, pica (ED)


macrocytic normochromic anemia patho -megaloblasts (unusually large stem cells)
-too big of RBCs -> RBCs die sooner -> anemia
-caused by B9 or B12 deficiency


B12 deficiency causes -vegetarians (B12 lacks in diet)
-impaired GI absorption (celiac disease)
-intrinsic factor deficiency (pernicious anemia) (IF needed to absorb B12 at ileum)


B9 (folate) deficiency causes -alcoholic
-pregnant
-MCC: inadequate intake


B9 deficiency S/S -increased levels of homocysteine
-causes spine ibifida in newborns


B12 deficiency S/S -beefy red tongue
-demyelination ->CNS symptoms
-increased levels of homocysteine


sickle cell anemia -autosomal recessive
-normocytic hyprochromic
-increased MCHC
-Howell-jolly bodies

, von Willebrand Factor -released from platelets and damaged endothelial cells
-binds platelets to platelets
-binds platelets to exposed subendothelial collagen


platelet aggregation -platelet plug
-bleeding time (BT)
-vWF


clotting factors plasma proteins synthesized in the liver


extrinsic pathway -factor V11 + tissue factor
-prothrombin time (PT)
-fast


intrinsic factor -factor VIII (hemophilia a) + factor IX (hemophilia B)
-activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)
-slow


common pathway -factor X converts prothrombin -> thrombin
-thrombin converts fibrinogen -> fibrin ->fibrin mesh stabalizes platelet plug


tissue factor -TF= tissue thromboplastin= factor III
-released from damaged endothelial cells and tissue
-stimulates platelet aggregation
-initiates extrinsic pathway
-depleted TF -> DIC


platelet type bleeding cause -von Willebrand's disease
-thrombocytopenia (low platelets)


platelet type bleeding S/S superficial bleeding (petechia) from skin and mucosal surfaces -> epistaxis,
purpura


platelet type bleeding labs -increased bleeding time (BT)


factor type bleeding -ex: hemophilia
-S/S: hematoma, hemarthrosis
-Labs: normal BT, high PT or aPTT


hemophilia patho -rare x-linked recessive disorder
-type A (80%) = factor VIII
-type B (15%) = factor IX


hemophilia S/S hematomas, hemarthrosis (severe joint pain due to blood in joint cavities)


hemophilia labs increased aPTT, normal: BT, PT, PLT count


von willebrand's disease patho -decreased or abnormal vWF
-autosomal dominant
-decreased platelet aggregation time
-decreased adherence to injury
