Disorders of The Blood Vessels: - ANTERIOSCLEROSIS

The document summarizes various disorders of the circulatory system including the blood vessels, heart, blood, and coagulation system. It lists common conditions such as aneurysms, arteriosclerosis, angina, myocardial infarction, anemia, leukemia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. It also provides examples of diagnostic tests associated with evaluating these circulatory system disorders, such as complete blood count, cholesterol testing, troponin levels, and coagulation assays.

● DISORDERS OF THE BLOOD VESSELS

1. A bulge formed by a weakness in the wall of a blood vessel, usually an artery, that can
burst and cause severe hemorrhaging.
______ANEURYSM_______
2. Hardening of the artery walls contributing to aneurysm or stroke.
_____ANTERIOSCLEROSIS___
3. A form of arteriosclerosis characterized by the accumulation of
Lipids and other materials in the walls of arteries causing the lumen of the vessel to narrow and stimulate
clot formation.
___ANTHEROSCLEROSIS___
4. A moving clot that can obstruct a blood vessel.
___ EMBOLISM____
5. Inflammation of the vein wall causing pain and tenderness.
___PHIEBITIS____
6. Obstruction of a blood vessel by a stationary blood clot.
___THROMBOSIS____
7. Swollen peripheral veins caused by damaged valves, allowing backflow of blood that
causes swelling (edema) in the tissues.
___VARICOSE VEINS____

● DISORDERS OF THE HEART


1. Sharp chest pain caused by deceased blood flow to the heart, usually because of an obstruction in the
coronary arteries.
__ANGINA PECTORIS___
2. Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart caused by a bacterial infection.
__BACTERIAL ENDOCARTISIS____
3. Congestive heart failure impairs the ability of the heart to pump blood efficiently, causing fluid
accumulation in the lungs and other tissues.
__CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE___
4. Death (necrosis) of the heart muscle caused by a lack of oxygen to the myocardium
because of an occluded coronary artery, commonly known as a heart attack.
_MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION_____
5. Inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart, the pericardium, induced by
bacteria, viruses, trauma, or malignancy.
___PERICARDITIS___
6. An autoimmune disorder affecting heart tissue following a streptococcal infection.
__RHEUMATIC HEART DESEASE__

● DISORDERS OF THE BLOOD


1. A decrease in the number of erythrocytes or the amount of hemoglobin in the
circulating blood.
_ ANEMIA__
2. A marked increase in the number of WBCs in the bone marrow and circulating blood; leukemia’s are
named for the particular type of leukocyte that is increased.
___LEUKEMIA___
3. An abnormal increase in the number of normal leukocytes in the circulating blood, as seen in
infections.
___LEUKOCYTOSIS___
4. A decrease below normal values in the number of leukocytes, often caused by
exposure to radiation or chemotherapy.
___LEUKOPENIA____
5. A consistent increase in the number of erythrocytes and other formed elements
causing blood to have a viscous consistency.
___POLYCYTHEMIA____
6. A decrease in the number of circulating platelets, frequently seen in patients receiving
chemotherapy; spontaneous bleeding can result.
___THROMBOCYTOPENIA_____
7. An increase in the number of circulating platelets.
___THROMBOCYTOSIS_____

● DISORDERS OF THE COAGULATION SYSTEM


1. Spontaneous activation of the coagulation system by certain foreign substances
entering the circulatory system.
__DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION_____
2. A hereditary disorder characterized by excessive bleeding because of the lack of a
coagulation cascade factor.
__ HOMOPHILIA___
