CHAPTER 10/11 DISORDERS
Across
- 4. the lack of an adequate blood supply to the heart muscle
- 5. commonly called a heart attack or coronary
- 8. low blood pressure and dizziness when they rise suddenly from a reclining or sitting position
- 9. common in people who stand for long periods of time and in obese individuals
- 10. bacterial infection of the endocardium
- 14. the bone marrow becomes cancerous and huge numbers of WBCs are turned out rapidly
- 16. myocardium is deprived of oxygen resulting in crushing chest pain
- 17. a clot that develops and persists in an unbroken blood vessel
- 18. common consequence of thrombophlebitis is clot detachment and this which is a life-threatening condition
- 19. the blood vessels are inadequately filled and blood cannot circulate normally
- 20. blood vessels in the lungs become swollen and the pressure increases causing fluid leaks from the circulation into the lung tissue
- 21. a decrease in the oxygen-carrying ability of the blood
Down
- 1. often results in a decrease in the serous fluid forming painful adhesions that interfere with heart movements
- 2. AV node releases the ventricles from SA node control and the ventricles begin to beat at their own rate which is much slower
- 3. the abnormal hemoglobin formed becomes spiky and sharp when the RBCs unload oxygen molecules
- 6. a rapid uncoordinated shuddering of the heart muscle
- 7. the insidious filling of the blood vessels with fatty calcified deposits leads to this
- 11. may result from bone marrow cancer; an excessive or abnormal increase in the number of erythrocytes
- 12. pumping efficiency of the heart is depressed so that circulation is inadequate to meet tissue needs
- 13. abnormal or unusual heart sounds
- 15. inflammation of a vein that results when a clot forms in a vessel with poor
