Question 1.
Hemostasis .

Answer: System for stopping bleeding
Players:
Platelets
Fibrinogen
Procoagulants
-Proteins(In plasma, from platelets)
Anticoagulants
-Prevent uncontrolled coagulation


Question 2.
Platelets .

Answer: Cell fragments
-From megakaryocytes
No nucleus
Some organelles
-Granules
-Vesicles with hemostatic chemicals -Lysosomes


Question 3.
What can platelets do? .

Answer: Can:
Crawl
Pseudopods
Stick together (clots)
Dissolve clots
Secrete
Fight infection


Question 4.
Hemostasis: Steps .

Answer: Injury to vessel
Vascular spasm
Platelet plug formation
Clot forms

,Question 5.
Vascular Spasm .

Answer: Vasoconstriction
Caused by:
Nerve impulses (Short-term)
Vasoconstrictors (Chemicals)
Ex) Serotonin
-From platelets

-Proteins
-Already in plasma
-OR Released
~Especially by platelets


Question 13.
Coagulation cascade:2 activation paths .

Answer: Extrinsic
Started by molecules released by damage
Intrinsic
Started by activated platelets


Question 14.
What is needed for coagulation? .

Answer: Ca++

, Question 15.
EDTA .

Answer: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
Binds metal ions
ex)
Pb = lead
Chelation therapy
For lead poisoning
gets lead out of blood
• EDTA = Anticoagulant . Answer: EDTA
-Binds Ca++
Prevents coagulation


Question 16.
Blood Collection Tubes .

Answer: EDTA pre-added
-Blocks coagulation cascade
-Not all tubes
Alternatives
-Heparin
-Clot activators
-Nothing added


Question 17.
