Which of the following are mechanisms which prevent clotting under normal circumstances? Select all that apply.
platelets are not released into the bloodstream until needed
heparin and anti-thrombin circulate in the bloodstream
vessels are coated with prostacyclin which repels platelets

PACKED RED BLOOD CELLS
All are characteristics of erythrocytes (red blood cells) EXCEPT:
-makes up large percentage of total blood cells
-integral to inflammatory and immune responses
-high surface area to volume ratio due to biconcave disk shape
-lacking a nucleus or mitochondria
-involved with carrying oxygen to body cells

- The process of recording a picture of blood vessels is called ____________________.arrow_forward_____________________ Plasmapheresis is the removal of whole blood from the body, separation of its cellular elements, and reinfusion of these cellular elements suspended in saline or a plasma substitute.arrow_forwardCapillaries can be likened to a very narrow corridor, although more elastic than an actual corridor. Given this, what type of blood cells are allowed entrance, and in what way should they enter? RBCS; double file WBCS; single file Platelets: single file RBCS: single filearrow_forward
- Your patient has a diagnosis of atherosclerosis. Is your patient at a higher or lower risk for a thromboembolism? Explain your reasoning. asaparrow_forwardThrombocytopenia is a reduced number of platelets in the blood. Without a mechanism to compensate for this change you would expect someone with thrombocytopenia to experience a DECREASE in: Oblood viscosity O mean arterial pressure Operipheral resistance all of the abovearrow_forwardPlatelets are capable of which of the following? Select all that apply. activate clotting enzymes attract WBCs such as neutrophils to the site stimulating vessel repair and re-growth phagocytosis stimulating vasoconstriction dissolving clotsarrow_forward
- Describe the function of platelets. Multiple Choice O O O O Phagocytosis of pathogens and foreign debris Carries oxygen and carbon dioxide Reduces blood loss from damaged blood vessels Transports lipids and some hormones through the circulationarrow_forwardHemostasis is a quick and localized sequence (cascade) of events that helps to prevent a hemorrhage from occurring when a blood vessel is damaged. Hemostasis involves – amongst other things – the formation of a platelet plug. Describe the three steps involved in the formation of a platelet plug. What complication may arise if a platelet plug (thrombus) were to detach and travel through the circulatory system? How does Aspirin help prevent a thrombus from occurring?arrow_forwardCompare and contrast Formed Elements of the blood, Fill in the tablearrow_forward
- Match each description to the correct blood component. Plasma White blood cell Red blood cell Platelet a cell that increases the carrying capacity for oxygen Answer Bank the solvent in which all other blood components are suspended a cell fragment that reduces blood loss by facilitating coagulation a cell that identifies and helps destroy foreign bodiesarrow_forwardSeveral years ago, the deaths of several airline travelers led to the warning about “economic-class syndrome.” The idea is that economic-class passengers do not have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods of flights-conditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in a plane’s cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a cloth will form.arrow_forwardWhich of the following formed elements in blood is responsible for blood clotting?
