EXAM 200 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS
organ responsible for filtration of the blood, breaks down hemoglobin, removes
old WBCs and stores RBCs and platelets - (ANSWER)Spleen
organ that is the primary site for production of clotting factors. It uses vitamin K
to produce prothrombin and some factors - (ANSWER)Liver
leukocytes - (ANSWER)white blood cells
eosinophils - (ANSWER)Type of WBC
Become active in certain allergic diseases/reactions, parasitic infections & medical
conditions like asthma & collagen vascular disease
monocytes - (ANSWER)Type of WBC:
Turn into macrophages & immune helper cells
Migrate into tissues for phagocytosis
basophils - (ANSWER)Type of WBC
-Appear in specific inflammatory reactions
-Contain heparin & histamine, which promotes blood flow
, 2
-Play role in parasitic infections, allergies & mediating immune system (such as B
lymphocytes)
Neutrophils - (ANSWER)Most abundant WBC
-Immature neutrophil called band
-Front line defense against pathogens, especially bacterial infections; recruited
within minutes of acute inflammation from position along margin of blood vessels
-Phagocytosis action against pathogens
-Release cytokines to stimulate inflammatory response
Lymphocytes - (ANSWER)WBCs
Three types: Natural Killer (NK) cells, T cells & B cells
-Major component of adaptive immune response
--T cells associated with cell mediated immunity
--B cells associated with humoral mediated immunity
-Recognize antigens & generate specific responses; contain toxic granules of
enzymes that digest pathogens (viral & bacterial)
-Stimulate production of antibodies from memory cells
Anemias - (ANSWER)-The most common hematologic disorder of childhood
-Decrease in number of RBCs and/or hemoglobin concentration below normal
-Increased destruction or decreased production of the RBCs
-Decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of blood
, 3
Effects of Anemia - (ANSWER)-Hemodilution
-Decreased peripheral resistance
-Increased cardiac circulation and turbulence
--May have murmur
--May lead to cardiac failure
-Cyanosis
-Growth retardation
Iron Deficiency Anemia - (ANSWER)-caused by inadequate iron intake or
excessive loss of iron
-generally preventable
--iron-fortified cereals for infants
--special needs of premature infants
S&S: pale skin, fatigue, pica, HA, dizziness, irritability, slowed thought processes,
dec attention span, apathy, and depression.
who is at highest risk for iron deficiency anemia - (ANSWER)toddlers and
adolescents
(6 mo - 2 years? dairy milk)
