Serum Specimens

59
Q

Hemostasis

A

processes where platelets, plasma, and coagulation factors interact to control bleeding while maintaining circulating blood

60
Q

Phases of Hemostasis

A

1) Vascular Phase
2) Platelet Phase
3) Coagulation Phase
4) Clot Retraction
5) Fibrinolysis

61
Q

Vascular Phase

A

rapid reconstruction of vessel decreases blood flow to surrounding vascular bed

62
Q

Platelet Phase

A

platelets degranulate, clump together, and adhere to injured vessel to from a plug

63
Q

Coagulation Phase

A

coagulation factors are released to form fibrin mesh work/clot; seals off damaged portion of blood vessel

64
Q

Clot Retraction

A

when bleeding stops the entire cloth retracts to heal torn edges

65
Q

Fibrinolysis

A

final repair and regeneration of injured vessel occurs; clot begins to break up and dissolve

66

A

Intrinsic and Extrinsic

67
Q

Intrinsic

A

contain in the blood

68
Q

Extrinsic

A

Contained in endothelial cells that are stimulated when damage occurs

69
Q

Lymphatic System consists

A

lymph, lymphocytes, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, bone marrow, and thymus

70
Q

Main functions of Lymphatic System

A

Maintain fluid balance in tissues via blood and lymph fluid
Provide defense against disease via lymphocytes
Distribute nutrients and hormones into the blood stream, remove waste, and absorb fats
