Q

What drives the body to create new RBC (erythropoiesis)?

A

Hypoxia ( decrease o2) reaches the kidneys which release erythropoietin, which stimulates the red bone marrow, which causes erythropoiesis (creation of RBC).

Q

What are the three pathways in the clotting factors?

A

Intrinsic, Extrinsic, Common pathways

30
Q

Intrinsic pathway

A

Faster pathway, for internal (within the blood), has 4 steps (XII, XI, IX, VIII)

31
Q

Extrinsic pathway

A

Slower pathway, For injury to tissue or vessles, has two step (Tissue Factor, VII)

32
Q

Common Pathway

A

where intrinsic and extrinsic pathways end/meet, has five steps (X, V, II, I, Fibrin Clot)

33
Q

aPTT Route

A

measures Intrinsic & Common Pathways

34
Q

PT/INR Route

A

measures Extrinsic & Common Pathways

35
Q

Increase Values of aPTT/PT

A

Clotting too slow

36
Q

Decrease Values of aPTT/PT

A

Clotting too fast (prone to clots)

37
Q

Antithrombins

A

Lysis clots by endogenous heparin (it interferes with thrombin)

38
Q

Fibrinolysis

A

Lysis clots by dissolution small molecules ( Attack fibrin strands) LABS: FDP & FSP
