infection.

A deficiency of von Willebrand factor impairs

platelet adhesion to injured tissue.

The megakaryocyte is a precursor to

platelets

The goal of long term heparin for the management of a deep vein thrombosis is to

prevent further clot formation.

A serious complication of deep vein thrombosis is

pulmonary embolus.

Transfusion reactions involve RBC destruction caused by

recipient antibodies.

The movement of blood through the vascular system is opposed by the force of

resistance.

The hypersensitivity reaction that does not involve antibody production is type

IV

The arterial oxygen content (CaO2) for a patient with PaO2 100 mm Hg, SaO2 95%, and hemoglobin 15 g/dL is _____ mL oxygen/dL.

19.4

A patient presents to the physician's office with pinpoint hemorrhages on the skin. The patient is most likely between the ages of _____ years.

Iron deficiency

Which characteristic is indicative of hemolytic anemia?

Jaundice

Pancytopenia

The Philadelphia chromosome is a balanced chromosome translocation that forms a new gene called

bilirubin

Velocity of blood flow is measured in

centimeters per second.

A cause of thrombocytopenia includes

chemotherapy.

The final step in clot formation is

clot retraction.

Blood flow is slow through capillaries because capillaries

have the largest total cross-sectional area.

A 3-year-old boy who exhibits prolonged bleeding after minor trauma and a prolonged aPTT, but a normal platelet count, is likely to be diagnosed with

hemophilia.

An important mediator of a type I hypersensitivity reaction is

iron deficiency.

The primary source of erythropoietin is provided by the

kidney.

Dramatic hypotension sometimes accompanies type I hypersensitivity reactions, because

massive histamine release from mast cells leads to vasodilation

A primary effector cell of the type I hypersensitivity response is

mast cells.

The most appropriate treatment for secondary polycythemia is
