Concept explainers
To determine: The function of hemostasis.
Introduction: Hematologic system comprises of blood, blood vessels, and blood-forming organs. The hematologic system plays a significant role in the hormone transport, immune and inflammatory responses, fluid-electrolyte balance, regulation of temperature, and acid-base balance. Blood is a connective tissue, which flows from the heart through arteries and veins to all body parts.
To determine: The two ways by which a blood clot form.
