Study Notes
Blood Disorders, Diagnostic Techniques, and Blood Terminology
- Blood disorders include hemolytic, iron deficiency, pernicious, sickle cell, thalassemia, hemophilia, leukemia, polycythemia, and purpura
- Diagnostic techniques for blood disorders include blood transfusion, bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow transplant, and complete blood cell count (CBC)
- Blood terminology includes edema, ascites, bilirubin, erythropoietin, hemoglobin, hemolysis, hemorrhage, hyperlipidemia, leukocytopenia, septicemia, serology, and thrombocytopenia
- Erythropoietin is a hormone that stimulates the production of erythrocytes and is used as a performance-enhancing drug in elite athletes
- Hemoglobin is a complex protein-iron compound in the blood that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
- The lymphatic system consists of lymph fluid, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, thymus, spleen, and tonsils
- The two most important functions of the lymphatic system are producing antibodies and lymphocytes for the immune system and maintaining fluid balance
- Lymphatic fluid is transported into larger lymph vessels before entering the right lymphatic duct or the thoracic duct
- Lymph nodes are located at various intervals along the course of the lymphatic system and filter out dead cells and bacteria
- The thymus is a single gland located in the chest, near the middle, beneath the sternum
- The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in filtering out dead cells and bacteria from the lymph
- The lymph nodes are located in the neck, below the jaw, in the armpits, and in the groin, performing essential filtering and destroying bacteria
