Pathophysiology: RBC
disorders (solved &
updated )
Erythropoiesis - answer production of red blood
cells
erythropoietin - answer In response to low oxygen
levels, the kidneys release _____ , which stimulates
the bone marrow to produce RBCs.
folic acid - answer Many components are required
to synthesize red blood cells, including iron, _____
and vitamin B12.
120 - answer As the average lifespan of a red
blood cell is _____ , turnover of these cells and
recycling of their components is essential.
splenomegaly - answer In some circumstances,
RBC breakdown exceeds normal levels. This may
lead to _____ and jaundice.
reticulocytes - answer When RBC breakdown
exceeds normal levels, bone marrow also responds
, by rapidly producing immature RBCs known as _____
.
overabundance - answer RBC disorder known as
_____ of RBCs appears in two forms: Primary and
secondary polycythemia.
Primary polycemia - answer an excess of all blood
cell types, erythropoietin is low.
Secondary polycythemia - answer ____ arises with
prolonged hypoxia because hypoxia induces
erythropoietin release, which stimulates RBC
production to compensate for the hypoxia, as
occurs with chronic obstructive pulmonary
disorder, erythropoietin is elevated
Anemia - answer is a deficiency in red blood cells.
It is classified based on its etiology.
hemolysis - answer the rupture or destruction of
red blood cells.
aplastic anemia - answer results in hypocellular
bone marrow, the failure of blood cell production in
the bone marrow. It may develop because of
exposure to toxins, radiation, certain medications,
