Hemo exam 6 Flashcards
platelet maturation
PPSC, megakaryoblast, promegakaryocyte, megakaryocyte
what is a platelet
cytoplasmic fragments of a megakaryocyte
platelets are produced by
budding and cytoplasic demarkation
which platelet replication is found in unhealthy animals
cytoplasmic demarkation
stimulus for platelets?
thrombopoitein (TPO)
TPO is released at _ rate
steady
TPO binds to the
platelets
unbound TPO is called
free thrombopoietin
free thrombopoietin causes
bone marrow to produce and release more platelets
what is the stimulus for platelet production
free TPO
3 tests to evaluation platelets
platelet count, platelet morph, platelet estimate
rare term in vet med
thrombocytosis
norm platelet count cats and dogs
200,000-500,000
Goal of hemostasis
maintain blood within vessels without clotting
for primary hemostasis must have
exposure to subendothelium, basement membrane and collagen
2 parts of primary hemostasis
vascular and platelet plug
2 parts of vascular part
production of VIII and von Willebrands , vascular spasm
where is VIII and von Willebrand produced>
by endothelial cells and platelets
