Q

Functions of Hemoglobin

A

1) carry Oxygen (MAIN FUNCTION)

3 steps of Hemostasis
1) Vasoconstriction 2) Platelet Aggregation (platelet plug) 3) Clot formation

Megakaryocytes
51
Life Span of Platelets
couple of days

Formation of Blood Clot
1) Formation of prothrombinase 2) Conversion of prothrombin into thrombin (via prothrombinase) 3) Conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin (via thrombin)
