Q

Timeline of hemoglobin erythropoesis

- sinificance

A
  • yolk sac, liver, spleen, bone marrow

- if bone marrow cant't keep up with need then liver and spleen help to make RBC

Q

Hemolytic disease of the newborn

  • interaction
  • mechanism
  • sxs
  • tx
A
  • Rh - mother and Rh + mom
  • first pregnancy the mother is exposed to Rh + blood and forms Rh antibody, next Rh+ pregnancy the antibodies cross placenta and attack baby
  • jaundice, kernicterus, hydrops fetalis
  • anti-D IgG to Rh - mother during 3rd trimester to prevent maternal antibody formation

Q

Primary hemostasis

  • function
  • steps
A
  • platelet plug
  • injury -> collagen exposed -> vWF binds to collagen -> platelt binds vWF -> platelet changes shape and releases ADP -> GPIIa/IIIb exposed -> fibrinogen binds and helps connect platelets to each other
