60
Q

Bilirubin

A

Produced during the break down of red blood cells is processed by the liver, deposited in the intestines, then eliminated
Normally low levels of bilirubin are present in the blood due to the normal cell cycle of RBC’s.

61
Q

What could cause jaundice

A

Hemolysis of RBC’s prematurely in the bloodstream leading to higher levels of bilirubin in the blood

Play an important role in preventing blood loss
First component to arrive at the site of an injury
Stick to the injury site forming a plug which slows or stops bleeding

64
Q

What to platelets secrete which causes blood vessels to narrow and decrease blood loss until clot forms

A

Serotonin

65
Q

Where are platelets formed and how are they removed

A

Formed in the bone marrow and old platelets are trapped and removed by the spleen

66
Q

Liquid component of blood (Plasma)

A

Pale yellow fluid that contains: water, nutrients, hormones, electrolytes, proteins, fibrinogen, globulins, albumin, waste, and protective substances

67
Q

Plasma

A

Plasma is the liquid portion of unclotted blood
When tested requires tube with an anticoagulant

Tested immediately after processing by centrifugation

68
Q

Serum

Serum is the liquid portion of clotted blood. When tested tubes without anticoagulants are used
Clots with in 10 to 30 minutes
Fibrinogen is absent
Must be kept upright to coagulate the centrifuged before testing

69
Q

How is a clot formed

A

When fibrinogen converts into fibrin and traps the formed elements of the blood

70
Q

Coagulation

A

When a clot forms some clotting factors are depleted and the fluid that remains is known as serum

71
Q

Centrifugation

A

Spinning of test tubes at high speed around a central axis

72
Q

What does a centrifuge do

A

Separates blood by spinning at at high speed

73
Q

Hemostasis

A

Blood at rest
Hemo- blood
Stasis- stopping

74
Q

What are the main two clotting factors in blood

A

Thrombin
Fibrin

75
Q

Thrombin

A

Enzyme used to convert the plasma protein fibrinogen into fibrin

76
Q

Fibrin

A

Strong and elastic protein
Threadlike composition forms a mesh like sac that adheres to the injury site form a clot by trapping platelets, blood cells, and other particles

77
Q
