✔✔Glucos-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency anemia occurs when - ✔✔exposed
to certain drugs
✔✔Functions of the circulatory system - ✔✔transport, protection, regulation
carries oxygen, nutrients, & hormones to cells and removes waste products like carbon
dioxide.
✔✔Hemophilia - ✔✔prolonged bleeding time, prolonged aPTT, normal platelet count
✔✔Vitamin K deficiency in newborns presents with - ✔✔melena, bleeding from the
umbilicus, and hermaturia
✔✔Vitamin K deficiency - ✔✔normal bleeding time, normal platelet count, increased PT
and INR
✔✔aspirin can prolong - ✔✔bleeding time
, ✔✔PT/INR - ✔✔prothrombin time/international normalized ratio
assesses the extrinsic pathway of coagulation by measuring the time it takes for a blood
clot to form
✔✔aPTT - ✔✔(activated partial thromboplastin time)
assess the intrinsic pathway of coagulation by measuring the time it takes for a clot to
form
✔✔Bleeding time evaluates - ✔✔vascular status and platelet function
✔✔Chemotherapy can cause - ✔✔thrombocytopenia
✔✔Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) - ✔✔Acquired hemorrhagic syndrome
in which clotting and bleeding occur simultaneously
✔✔dysfunction of the liver can lead to - ✔✔clotting factor deficiency
✔✔Venous occlusion - ✔✔- blockage of blood flow through a vein
-decreased amount of fluid returned to the heart, increase third spacing of fluid
- edema
✔✔arterial occlusion - ✔✔blockage of blood flow through an artery

✔✔DVT (deep vein thrombosis) - ✔✔formation of a blood clot in a deep vein of the
body, occurring most commonly in the legs or thighs
✔✔varicose veins - ✔✔abnormally swollen and twisted veins, usually occurring in the
legs
✔✔Primary hypertension - ✔✔High blood pressure, the cause of which is unknown; also
known as essential hypertension
