leukocytosis leukemia leukopenia is when a patient has a low white blood cell count. This is usually caused by radiation, poison, and certain diseases. is a cancer of a hemopoietic tissue that results in very high levels of circulating leukocytes. is when a patient has a high white blood cell count. This is usually caused by infection, a disease like cancer, or an allergy.

platelets serotonin platelet plug formation megakaryocytes coagulation coagulation fibrin hemophilia vascular spasm clot thromboxane A2 pulmonary embolism megakaryocytes are huge cells found in red bone marrow that extend long tendrils into blood sinusoids. The flow of blood breaks off small portions of those tendrils creating the formed element known as platelets Platelets are involved in the process of hemostasis. If a blood vessel is severed in an injury, a reflex in the smooth muscle of the vessel wall constricts the broken vessel. This first phase of hemostasis is called vascular spasm This results in reduced blood flow and promotes the success of the remaining two phases of hemostasis. The second phase of hemostasis is platelet plug formation where platelets stick to the collagen revealed in the damaged area of the vessel wall. This attracts other platelets in a positive feedback mechanism. During this process, platelets degranulate, and release the vasoconstrictor serotonin and…
