168
Q

What are the four stages of hemostasis?

A

Vascular Phase: vascular spasm/contraction of the smooth muscle lining the blood vessel occurs when a vein or artery is ruptured; the blood vessel diameter is reduced which deceases the amount of blood flow to the area.

Platelet Phase:˜ platelets aggregate (stick together) and release factors that promote fibrin accumulation

Coagulation Phase:˜ a cascade of enzymes and factors resulting in a fibrin clot.
˜Either pathway leads to the common pathway and then results in a fibrin clot.

Fibrinolysis:˜ plasmin is formed from plasminogen released from platelets to break down the fibrin clot after the wound is closed and the tissue repair commences

169

172
Q

What are the two types of immunities?

A

Specific immunity involves recognition of antigens (markers) on the surface of a foreign agent.˜Recognition of these antigens triggers activation of T cells and B cells which triggers specific antibody response.

˜Nonspecific immunity refers to defense against infectious agents independent of the specific markers on their surfaces. Nonspecific immunity includes physical barriers, the complement system, and phagocytes (WBCs) which engulf and destroy foreign cells without regard to their exact identity
