Study Notes
Blood Circulation and Blood Flow
- Hyperemia: Increased blood flow to a specific area of the body, resulting in increased oxygenation and nutrient delivery.
Blood Clots and Blockages
- Thrombosis: Formation of a blood clot in a blood vessel, which can impede blood flow.
- Embolus: A traveling blood clot or foreign material that can obstruct a blood vessel.
- Embolism: Blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus, potentially leading to tissue damage.
- Ischemia: Reduced blood supply to tissues, often leading to tissue damage or infarction.
Tissue Damage and Death
- Infarction: Tissue death due to blocked blood flow, resulting in tissue necrosis.
- Gangrene: Death and decay of tissue due to lack of blood supply, often leading to amputation.
Fluid Accumulation and Bleeding
- Edema: Abnormal accumulation of fluid in tissues, causing swelling and potentially leading to tissue damage.
- Hemorrhage: Bleeding from blood vessels, which can lead to hypovolemic shock.
- Epistaxis: Nosebleed, often due to trauma or vascular malformations.
- Hemoptysis: Coughing up blood from the respiratory tract, often indicative of respiratory disease.
- Hematemesis: Vomiting blood from the gastrointestinal tract, often indicative of gastrointestinal disease.
Accumulation of Blood
- Hemothorax: Accumulation of blood in the chest cavity, often due to trauma or surgical complications.
- Hemopericardium: Accumulation of blood in the pericardial sac, often due to cardiac trauma or disease.
- Hemoperitoneum: Accumulation of blood in the abdominal cavity, often due to trauma or surgical complications.
- Hematocele: Accumulation of blood in a body cavity or sac, often due to trauma or surgical complications.
- Hemoarthrosis: Presence of blood in a joint cavity, often due to trauma or joint disease.
