  1. Blood and Body Fluids

  2. Word Parts • Aer(o): air or gas • Cellul(o): little cell, compartment • Chlor(o): green • Chrom(o): color • Coagul(o): coagulation • Fibrin(o): ribrin • Hem(a), hem(o), hemat(o): blood • Hemoglobin(o): hemoglobin • Hydr(o): water • Is(o): equal

  3. Word Parts • Kary(o), nucle(o): nucleus • Log(o): words, study • Lys(o): destruction, dissolving • Melan(o): black • Morph(o): shape • Muc(o): mucus • Phag(o): to eat • Phil(o): attraction • Poikil(o): irregular

  4. Word Parts • Scop(o): to view or examine • Spher(o): round • Vascul(o): vessel • Xanth(o): yellow • Norm(o): normal

  5. Prefixes • A- = not or without • Extra- = outside • Hyper- = excessive, more than normal • Hypo- = beneath, below normal • Inter- = between • Intra- = within • Poly- = many • Trans- = across

  6. Suffixes • -ant: that which causes • -ar: pertaining to • -ate: to cause an action • -cyte: cell • -emia: blood • -lysin: substance that dissolves or destroys • -lysis: destruction • -lytic: capable of destroying • -tic: pertaining to • -oid: like or resembling

  7. Suffixes • -opia: vision • -ous: pertaining to • -penia: decreased, deficient • -phylaxis: protection • -poiesis: production • -poietin: causes production • -scope: instrument for viewing • -scopy: viewing • -y: state or condition

  8. Body Fluids • Water: the most important component to body fluids • Body fluids: over ½ of an adult’s weight • Transport nutrients Remove waste

  9. Body Fluids Composition • Extracellular or interstitial fluid: all of the fluid outside of the cells • Plasma: the liquid portion of blood • Edema: abnormally large fluid amounts in interstitial spaces

  10. Blood • Hematology: the study of blood and blood-forming tissues (bone marrow) • Hematopoiesis: the production of blood cells

  11. Blood • Coagulation = when blood clots when it is removed from the body • Anticoagulant = a drug that acts against blood coagulation • Coagulant = a drug that promotes blood coagulation

  12. Blood • Invitro = occurring in a test tube in an artificial environment • Hematocrit = test that measures the percentage of red blood cells (HCT test)

  13. Blood • Erythrocytes: red blood cells (RBC or corpuscles) • Have no nucleus • Transport oxygen, nutrients and waste products throughout the body • Erythropoiesis: formation of red blood cells • Erythropoietin: hormone that stimulates erythropoiesis

  14. Blood • Leukocyte: white blood cell (corpuscle) WBC • Protect the body against disease and pathogens • Leukemia: increased white blood cell condition where WBC’s are deformed and do not perform their functions

  15. Blood • Thrombocyte: (platelet) Cell fragments without a nucleus that form blood clots • Thrombus: a blood clot that obstructs a blood vessel • Thrombolytic: capable of destroying a blood clot • Thrombosis: presence of a blood clot (thrombus) • Thrombolysis: destruction of a blood clot

  16. Blood • Anemia: without blood: deficiency in the number of RBCs or hemoglobin • Not a disease but a sign of many diseases • Hemoglobin = blood protein that is the red pigment in blood

  17. Blood • Erythrocytosis: increase in the number of RBC’s • Leukocytosis: increased number of WBC’s • Macroscopic: examining with the naked eye • Macrocyte or Megalocyte : large cell • Microcyte: small cell • Normocyte: normal cells • Isocytosis: condition where cells are of equal size • Anisocytosis: condition where cells are not of equal size • Isotonic: a solution in which cells will not get damaged

  18. Blood Abnormalities • Spherocyte: round cell • Poikilocyte: irregular cells • Sicklecellanemia: blood has an irregular type of hemoglobin and RBC’s are irregularly shaped • Hypochromia: below normal color in RBC’s

  19. Blood Abnormalities • Hemoglobinopathy: any disease of hemoglobin proteins • Hemolyticanemia: RBC’s are destroyed early

  20. Blood Clotting • Fibrin: protein involved in clotting • Fibriniogen: a protein that is changed into fibrin in the process of coagulation • Transfusion: blood is passed from one person to another • Agglutination: blood clumping • Transfusion reaction: an adverse reaction to a blood transfusion

  21. Blood Diseases • Blood parasites: any parasite that invades the blood system • Christmas disease: A hereditary bleeding disorder due to a lack of clotting factor IX • Hemophilia: a hereditary disorder of coagulation • Malaria: a disease caused by a protozoa that is transmitted through mosquitoes • Symptoms: fever, anemia, enlarged spleen and chills • Septicemia: any infection caused by a microorganism or toxin in the blood stream • Vitamin K deficiency: blood will not coagulate right because of lack of vitamin K
