NSG 120 MODULE 10 CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
1. Serum: fluid and solutes remaining after the cells and fibrinogen removed fromthe plasma
2. Blood: Provides the major transport system of the body for essentials such asoxygen,
glucose, and other nutrients, hormones, electrolytes, and cell wastes
3. Dyscrasia: Pathologic condition of the blood that usually refers to disordersinvolving the
cellular components of blood
4. Plasma: the clear yellowish fluid remaining after the cells have been removed
5. Hematocrit: refers to the proportion of cells in blood and indicates the viscosityof the blood
6. Tunia MediaTunia adventia
Tunia intima: Which of the following are the layers of veins and arteries?
7. Erythrocytes: biconcave, flexible discs that contain hemoglobin
8. Erythropoietin: stimulates erythrocyte production in the red bone marrow inresponse to
tissue hypoxia
9. Hemoglobin: normally becomes fully saturated with oxygen in the lungs
10. Leukopoiesis: Production of white blood cells (WBCs)
11. Morphology: describes the size and shape of a cell
12. Peripheral blood smears: show the immature leukocytes and the altered num-bers of WBCs
which are usually greatly increased
13. Bone marrow: in hypercellular, with the red marrow replacing some fatty marrow
14. Phlebotomy: removal of blood
15. Neutropenia: a reduction in circulating neutrophils
16. Bone marrow transplantation: may be tried when chemotherapy is ineffective
17. Reticulocyte: immature non-nucleated red blood cell
18. Leukopenia: a decrease in leukocytes
19. Dyspnea: increased effort to breathe
20. Tachycardia: rapid heart rate
21. Pallor: Pale face
22. Stomatitis: Ulcers in the oral mucosa
23. Ataxia: loss of muscle control/coordination
24. thrombocytopenia: low platelet count, results in petechiae
25. Sickle cell anemia: causes an alternation in hemoglobin that leads to a changein the cell
