PATH1017 TEST 1 W1-4 DEFINITIONS
the amount of pressure needed to eject blood out of the heart. -
correct answer Afterload
a type of distributive shock that occurs during a severe, life-threatening
allergic reaction. - correct answer Anaphylaxis
a way for cells to generate energy without using oxygen. This produces
less ATP (from 36 to 2 ATP), and produces lactic acid as a byproduct. -
correct answer Anaerobic Metabolism
localized swelling that occurs in the deeper layers of the skin, often
affecting areas like the face, lips, throat, and sometimes the hands and
feet. Often associated with allergic reactions. - correct answer
Angioedema
the amount of blood the heart pumps in one minute. - correct answer
Cardiac output
the strength of the heart's contractions/ tightening/ heartbeats/
pulsations. - correct answer Contractility
when there is inadequate blood flow to a particular organ or tissue.
This can lead to insufficient oxygen and nutrient delivery which may
cause tissue damage or organ dysfunction. - correct answer
Hypoperfusion
a condition where there is reduced blood flow to a specific area of the
body which means it doesn't get enough oxygen and nutrients. - correct
answer Ischemia
the process of delivering blood to the tissues and organs of the body.
How well blood is flowing to different parts of the body to keep them
healthy. - correct answer Perfusion
, the resistance to blood flow in the peripheral vessels such as the arms
and legs. - correct answer Peripheral vascular resistance (PVR)
measures the degree of the ventricular stretch when the heart is at the
end of diastole. This is the filling of blood in the heart. - correct answer
Preload
aka itching - correct answer Pruritus
a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an
infection becomes uncontrolled, leading to widespread inflammation
and potentially causing organ failure. - correct answer Sepsis
a serious medical condition that occurs when there is insufficient blood
flow to the body's organs and tissues, leading to lack of oxygen and
nutrients. - correct answer Shock
the amount of blood pumped by the heart with each beat. - correct
answer Stroke volume (SV)
the total resistance to blood flow in the systemic circulation (the
network of blood vessels that supply the entire body except the lungs) -
correct answer Systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
aka hives; a skin condition by raised, itchy welts or patches on the skin.
- correct answer Urticaria
how the body controls the size of the blood vessels, which helps to
regulate how blood flows through the body and maintains blood
pressure. - correct answer Vasomotor
RBC of unequal sizes in a blood sample, an indicator of underlying
health issues (anemia, nutritional deficiencies or bone marrow
disorders) - correct answer Anisocytosis
the amount of pressure needed to eject blood out of the heart. -
