19
Q

MEGAKARYOCYTES

A

FORMED IN RED BONE MARROW AS VERY LARGE CELLS
BREAK INTO FRAGMENTS BEFORE CIRCULATING THROUGH THE BLOOD
FUNCTION TO PROTECT THE BODY BY FORMING A PLATELET (PLUG) TO STOP BLEEDING.

20
Q

THROMBOCYTHEMIA

A

TOO MANY PLATELETS

21
Q

THROMBOCYTOPENIA

A

TOO FEW PLATELETS

22
Q

ANTIGEN

A

MOLECULE (PROTEIN) FOUND ON THE SURFACCE OF RBC THAT IDENTIFY CELLS ACCORDING TO WHICH PROTEIN IT IS ( A, B, A&B) CAN ILLICIT AN IMMUNE RESPONSE

23
Q

ANTIBODY

A

APPEARS IN THE BLOOD SHORTLY AFTER BIRTH. IT WILL BIND TO THE ANTIGEN ON THE RBC AND DESTROY THE CELL IF IT THE WRONG TYPE.

33
Q

Rh ANTIGEN

A

IF NEGATIVE YOUR BODY DOES NOT PRODUCE ANTI Rh ANTIBODIES.

34
Q

NORMAL HEMATOCRIT

A

FEMALES: 38-46%
MALES: 40-54%

35
Q

NORMAL COAGULATION TIME

A

2-6 MINS

36
Q

HOW DO PLATELETS STOP IN THE RIGHT PLACE

A

YOUR BLOOD CONTAINS FIBROGEN MOLECULES THAT COME TOGETHER TO FORM LONG THREADLIKE STRANDS AT THE BLEEDING SITE TO TRAP PLATELETS IN THE FIBRIN NET
