Study Notes
Hematology
- Anemia occurs when there's insufficient oxygen-carrying capacity in blood; Sickle Cell Anemia is caused by abnormal hemoglobin.
- Eosinophils defend against parasitic infections, while Basophils and Neutrophils protect against different pathogens.
- Blood clotting requires Vitamin K, and Thrombocytes (platelets) play a critical role in hemostasis.
- Excessive erythrocyte production is known as Polycythemia, while Aplastic Anemia results from bone marrow damage.
- Erythroblastosis Fetalis is a condition from Rh incompatibility in pregnancies.
- Blood serum lacks clotting factors; it differs from plasma, which contains them.
Blood Typing
- Type O blood is the universal donor, while Type AB blood has both A and B antigens but no antibodies.
- The primary plasma proteins include Albumins, Globulins, and Fibrinogen.
Cardiac Anatomy and Physiology
- The heart consists of ventricles (discharging chambers) and atria (receiving chambers), separated by the Interventricular Septum.
- Stroke Volume refers to the amount of blood ejected during each heartbeat.
- The Sinoatrial node functions as the heart's pacemaker, initiating contractions.
- The QRS complex represents ventricular depolarization on an ECG, while the P Wave reflects atrial depolarization.
Vascular System
- Capillaries are the sites of nutrient and gas exchange between blood and tissues.
- Systemic circulation distributes blood throughout the body; Pulmonary circulation moves blood between the heart and lungs.
- The aorta is the largest artery, while the superior mesenteric artery supplies the small intestine.
Lymphatic System
- Lymphatic fluid flows only towards the heart, draining into the Thoracic duct or Right lymphatic duct depending on the body side.
- The thymus gland is crucial for T-cell maturation and shrinks with age; it produces the hormone Thymosin.
- B-cells are responsible for antibody production and can develop into memory cells.
Immune System
- Active natural immunity arises from disease exposure, while passive artificial immunity comes from injected antibodies.
- Complement fixation kills beta cells by disrupting membrane integrity.
- Inflammation is part of innate immunity, while specific immunity relies on cell-mediated and humoral responses.
Respiratory System
- The upper respiratory tract includes the pharynx, larynx, and nose; the lower tract comprises the trachea, lungs, and bronchial tree.
- The sinuses (frontal, maxillary, sphenoidal, ethmoidal) assist with air warming and humidifying.
- Surfactant reduces water surface tension in alveoli, aiding in gas exchange during both internal and external respiration.
- Stretch receptors prevent over-expansion of lungs, while chemoreceptors modulate breathing based on blood gas levels.
Miscellaneous
- True or False statements indicate concepts such as Polycythemia increasing stroke risk and differentiating between conditions like angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.
