anemia

a deficiency of circulating red blood cells is called

anemia

a deficiency of red blood cells or a deficiency of hemoglobin is a condition referred to as

arteriosclerosis

a degenerative condition in which the arteries of the body become hardened, thinkened and inelastic is

aneurysm

a dilated portion of an artery is referred to as

primary anemia

a disease involving decreased production of red blood cells is called

rheumatic fever

a disease that tends to cause inflammation to all layers of the heart is called

rheumatic heart disease

a disorder believed to develop as an after-effect of a severe streptococcal infectioin

congestive heart failure

a general term used to describe a diseased heart that is not able to adequately pump blood is

cardiomyopathy

a general term used to describe disease of the heart muscle

aneurysm

a localized weakening and dilation of an artery wall is an

none of these

a marked decrease in the number of leukocytes in the blood is a condition that is referred to as

both a and b

anemia will result in

myocardial infarction

blockage of a coronary artery is likely to lead to

occlusion

blocking or closing off the coronary arteries is called

rheumatic fever

cardiac insufficiency might be the result of which of the following

inner tunic of the heart

endocarditis is inflammation of the

polycythemia

extra thick blood would indicate a condition called

a congenital heart defect

failure or the foramen ovale to close properly

heart

failure to deliver oxygenated blood to the body tissues a problem primarily affecting the

plaque

fatty deposit formed on the tunica intima of the vessels is called

laukemia

malignancy of hemopoietic tissues is

infarction

occlusion of an artery is a condition likely to lead to

systolic

occurs during heart muscle contraction

diastolic

occurs during heart muscle relaxation

blood

of the following body fluids, the one bearing the closest relationship to hemophilia si

thrombosis

of the following conditions, the one commonly found to directly affect the heart is

hypertrophy

of the following conditions, the one that is a common heart disorder is

hemorrhages

petechia are types of

blood

plethora affects the body's

red blood cells

polycythemia vera is an uncontrolled increase of

petechia

widespread "pin-point" hemorrhages are more commonly known as petechia

purpura

widespread spontaneous hemorrhage

anemocyte

Which of the following is not a type of blood cell

hemophilia

a bleeding disorder that only effects males

ecchymosis

a blood discoloration of the tissues as in a bruise

heart

a body organ frequently affected by valvular stenosis is the

embolism

a circulatory disorder that is often found to occur as an after-effect of a diseased heart valve is

stenosis

a common problem affecting the heart valves is called

cyanosis

a condition characterized by a bluish discoloration due to lack of oxygen in the blood

prolapse

a valve that turns backwards is called

occlusion

coronary artery is blocked

leukemia

a condition that is hematopoietic disorder is

thrombocytopenia

a decrease in the number of blood cells responsible for clotting is a condition called

anemia

a decrease in the number of red blood cells is

leukopenia

a decrease in white blood cells would indicate

all of these

all of the following are predisposing factors for cardiovascular disease except

dissecting

an aneurysm that is a weakening and separation between the walls of an artery and allows blood to make its way between layers of the vessels is called

saccular

an aneurysm which is a bulging, sac-like dilation on the wall of an artery is called

fusiform

an aneurysm which results in a tubular swellling around the entire circumference of an artery is

leukocytosis

an increase in the number of white blood cells circulating in the body is called

arteries

aneurysms are disorders primarily involving

ischemia

decreased blood flow resulting from coronary occlusion is called

necrosis of the heart tissue

decreased blood flow resulting from coronary occlusion may lead to

focal infection

endocarditis most commonly occurs as a

myocardial infarction

heart attack

veins

hemorrhoids is a condition primarily involving

hypertension

high blood pressure

high blood pressure

hypertensive heart disease is commonly called

phlebitis

inflammation of a vein is called

arteritis

inflammation of the artery is called

myocarditis

inflammation of the heart muscle itself

bacterial endocarditis

inflammation of the inner lining of the heart is called

pericarditis

inflammation of the outer sac around the heart is called

leukocytes

it is characteristic of leukemia to be accompanied by a massive proliferation of

aplastic anemia

marrow suppression resulting from drugs and chemicals, radiation, infection, and metabolic disorders is called

heart

myocarditis is a disease that primarily involves the

leukemia

of the following disorders the one with the highest incidence of fatality is

bruise

prolonged bleeding

petechia

small, red spots of hemorrhage

narrowing of coronary arteries

stenosis refers to

dilation

stretching of the heart muscles

infarct

the area of necrotic tissue which occurs after a myocardial infarction is called

blood

the body fluid most commonly associated with thrombopenia is

leukemia

the disease sometimes referred to as cancer of the blood is

primary

the form of anemia that is due to malfunction of the hematopoietic tissue is identified by the term

atherosclerosis

the formation of plaque in the vessels is called

secondary anemia

the loss or destruction of red blood cells is

myocardial infarction

the scientific name for heart attack is

arteriosclerosis

the thickening, hardening and loss of elasticity of the walls of the arteries is called

atherosclerosis

thickening of the tunica intima of the arterise due to deposits of a fatty substance in them suggests a

heart

valvular defects are often found to be associated with the

heart

valvular insufficiency is a commonly found disorder affecting the

veins

varices affect the

both hemorrhoids and piles

varicose veins of the rectum and anal canal is called

thrombocyte

which of the following is not a type of leukocyte

incompetence

a term that describes a valve that does not close properly

varicose veins

another name for varices is

infarct

area of necrotic tissue

cerebral hemorrhage

arteriosclerosis involving the cerebral arteries may be expected to lead to

secondary

the form of anemia that develops as a complication of another disease such as hemorrhage is identified by

infarction

a pathological condition primarily associated with the arteries

ecchymosis

bruise

necrotic

dead tissue

circulatory system

arteriosclerosis is a disease primarily involving the

dilation

an increase in the size of the heart due to stretching of muscle fibers

hemorrhoids

piles are

ischemia

decreased blood flow

hypertrophy

an increase in the size of the heart due to an increase in muscle fibers
