Terms in this set (159)
Hematology The study of blood and blood forming tissues
Mononuclear phagocyte system monocyte-macrophage system
Hematopoiesis Pluripotent stem cells maturing in the bone marrow.
Bone dyscrasias Diseases or disorders of the blood. Range from mild to
severe.
Importance of plasma proteins clotting, blood volume regulation, transport of chemicals and
drugs, pH and electrolyte balance, immunity
Lymphocytes Involved in adaptive immunity, from lymphoid stem cell
B-cells Produce antibodies (humoral immunity)
T-cells control cell-mediated immunity
, NK cells Develop from lymphoid stem cell, but have a general
response, belong with innate immunity
CBC Complete blood count: WBC, RBC, platelets
RBC color normochromic, hypochromic
Hemoglobin The protein in RBCs that transports O2 made of 4 protein
chains and 4 heme groups
Hematocrit Percent of RBCs in the whole blood. 36-48% in women, 40-
54% in men
MCV Mean corpuscular volume, average size of RBCs
Reticulocyte count Number of reticulocytes in the blood
RBC Cells that have a 120 day lifespan, 4-6million/mm3
Hemostasis Arrest of bleeding
Platelets AKA thrombocytes, non-nucleated, granular cells that have a
lifespan of 10 days, 150,000-400,000/mm3, release chemicals
that cause adhesion and help clotting
Etiology of HPV direct contact with HPV on mucosal surfaces, usually
penetration
HPV Over 100 different subtypes, most infections remain
subclinical. A few subtypes cause genital warts, others
associated with cervical dysplasia and cancer.
Etiology of Herpes Simplex Virus direct contact with HSV on any mucosal surface, virus settles
in the neurons
HSV-1 Usually oral ulcers
HSV-2 Usually genital ulcers, incubation period between initial
infection and manifestations. Lesions are fluid-filled, painful,
burning, flare-ups.
Treatment for HPV Cervical cancer vaccine (primary prevention)
Treatment for HSV Antiviral medications reduce flare-ups and transmission
Etiology of Gonorrhea and Chlamydia Transmitted through body fluids, bacterial infections. Most
common areas of entry are genitourinary, oropharynx, and
anus
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia Localized infections, can cause systemic infection if untreated
Treatment for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia Antibiotics, gonorrhea is becoming resistant!
Reportable infections
Etiology of Syphilis Treponema pallidum, a spirochete bacteria that is spread
through contact with an infected lesion. Common among
homosexual men.
