Q

Thrombopoiesis

A

Formation of platelets

17
Q

How long is the life span of red blood cells.

A

120 days - 3 months

18
Q

How long is the lifespan of megakarycocytes

A

5-9 days

19
Q

Lifespan of B & T lymphocytes

A

100-300 days

20
Q

What initiates hemostasis?

A

Vascular injury ➡️ collagen to be exposed ( where platelets come in contact)

21
Q

What are the 3 phases of hemostasis?

A
  1. Vasoconstriction
  2. Platelet plug
  3. Coagulation: clot forms
22
Q

Vasoconstriction

A

Muscles contract

23
Q

Platelet plug

A
  • exposes collagen activating platelets to
    ➡️ release factors
    ➡️ making them sticky ( causing them to stick together)
    Forming a plug
24
Q

Coagulation clot forms by

A

By thrombin Converting soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin ➡️ bind to platelets ➡️ clot to form

25
Q

Clotting factors are inactive blood proteins made by the liver

TRUE or FALSE

A

True; they are inactive in the blood then they become active once they come in contact with calcium

26
Q

Hemophilia

A

Genetic disorder, missing clotting factor

27
Q

What is found in a clot

A

Fibrin, platelets, and trapped red blood cells

28
Q

What is released to dissolve clots once a cut is healed?

A

Plasmin

29
Q

Serum

A

Plasma - clotting factors

30
Q

Glass tubes prevent clotting of blood

TRUE or FALSE

A

False; plastic tubes prevent blood from clotting in a test tube

31
Q

What causes fibrinogen to be converted into fibrin

A

Thrombin
