Where are peroxisomes found:
Organelle zone
Adhesion to aggregation takes ____:
10-20 seconds

List some acquired causes of thrombocytopenia due to decreased number of megakaryocytes:
chemo
radiation
alcoholism
chloramphenicol
List causes of thrombocytopenia due to disorders of distribution/dilution of plts in circulation:
- spleen pooling (enlarged spleen will hold >30% plts)
- hypothermia
- dilution in circulation
Snake venom, tissue injury, OB complications, neoplasms, intravascular hemolysis –> how do these contribute to thrombocytopenia:
destruction of plts
via combined consumption of plt/coag factors
