-
kind of infex that happens to an immune-weakened person (wouldn't happen normally)
opportunistic
-
blood without fibrinogen is
blood without an anticoagulant = serum
-
blood with fibrinogen
with an anticoagulant: plasma

-
myel/o
spinal cord, bone marrow
-
-
-
poikil/o **
varied, irregular
-
-
-
-phoresis
carrying, transmission
-
allo-
other, differing from normal
-
aniso-
unequal, dissimilar
-
acquired, abnormal immune response
allergy
-
indurated
hardened (like scratch test)
-
when self vs nonself isn't clearly distinguished it's called
autoimmunity
-
GVHR
graft versus host reaction
-
RBC indices
calculation of size, volume, concentration of hemoglobin for an average RBC
-
Schilling test diagnoses
pernicious anemia
-
first node that receives drainage from cancer; most likely to have malignancies
sentinel node
-
anticoagulant meds: preventative or fixative?
they don't fix existing clots. just prevent them
-
an antigen stimulates the formation of
antibodies
-
serum
sits on clotted blood
-
plasma
sits on flowy blood
-
WBC do diapedesis and go into tissues, while RBC
stay in the vessels
-
monocytes become
macrophages
-
lymphocytes become
T cells
-
lymph, directionally
goes one way
-
3 organs associated with lymphatic system
-
macrophages eat antigens and put them on the surface, making them
antigen-presenting cells
-
humoral: outside cells
B cells to plasma cells to antibodies
-
cellular: T cells
- cytotoxic destroys
- helper = cytokines
- suppressor switches off after the kill is done
- memory
-
which immunity deals with extracellular antigens
humoral
-
which immunity deals with intracellular antigens
cellular
-
these cells have no memory, but also no specificity--they go after whatever
natural killer
-
poikil/o
varied, irregular
-
-
aniso-
unequal, dissimilar
-
pathology associated with blood (3)
- anemias
- leukemias
- coagulation disorders
-
immune disorders are either
too much or to little immune response
-
normochromic
the normal amount of hemoglobin in RBCs
-
hypochromic
decreased amount of hemoglobin in RBCs
-
hemophilia treatment
give the missing factor via IV
-
hemophilia A lacks factor
VIII
-
hemophilia B lacks factor
IX
-
leukemias are named for
the kind of cells they affect.
-
left untreated, leukemias are
fatal
