Q

As megakaryocytic cell matures…

A

Cell volume increases (different than any other cell line) - till fragmented

NC ratio decreases

Chromatin - condenses

Nucleoli - disappear

Undergoes endomitosis → nuclear material continuously doubles without dividing, resulting in polyploid nucleus

19
Q

aged or dead platelets are removed by ___ and ___; similar system as RBC

A

spleen and liver

20
Q

platelets are individual ___ ____ released into peripheral blood

A

cytoplasmic fragment

21
Q

platelets circulate

A

9-12 days

22
Q

platelets contain chemicals that function to:

A
  1. maintain blood volume integrity
  2. initiate homeostasis
  3. promote coagulation - provide a template to grow clot on and initiating other clotting factors
23
Q

when vessel or tissue is damaged, the platelets

A

change shape, become clumpy and sticky (primary homeostasis)
