What does coagulation do for the platelet plug?
Coagulation reinforces platelet plug with fibrin threads.

# data[].attributes.body
What must happen before the platelets will stick to the walls of blood vessels?
The collagen fibers have to be exposed on the wall.

What role does ADP play in platelet plug formation?
ADP causes more platelets to stick and release their contents.

What is this process considered a positive feedback cycle?
As more platelets stick, they release more chemicals, which causes more platelets to stick and release more chemicals.

How does vasoconstriction help in the process of hemostasis?
Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscle so it can significantly reduce blood flow until other mechanisms can kick in.

What are some things that could trigger it?
Triggered by direct injury to vascular smooth muscle, chemicals released by endothelial cells and platelets, and pain reflexes.

What is it?
A fast series of reactions for stoppage of bleeding; requires clotting factors and substances released by platelets and injured tissues.

If a person had a tapeworm within their digestive system, which granulocyte would release digestive enzymes on the surface of the worm.
Eosinophils

Which granulocytes accounts for 50-70% of the white blood cells?
Neutrophils

Sickle Cell anemia vs iron deficiency anemia
Sickle cell anemia: too many red blood cells are being destroyed; can cause iron deficiency
Iron deficiency anemia: not enough red blood cells are being produced; hereditary

Which type of anemia is caused by a mutation?
Sickle Cell anemia

Why does iron deficiency cause symptoms?
A lack of iron means that you cannot carry oxygen throughout the body as efficiently.

Does a person with iron deficiency have cells that are sickle in shape?
No

Why is the leukocyte the only formed element that is considered a "complete cell"?

It carries all the organelles of a regular cell

Primary function of a Leukocyte: the cell fights off infection, bacteria, and foreign bodies.

What is the difference between Granulocytes and Agranulocytes?

Agranulocytes do not contain visible cytoplasmic granules, whereas granulocytes do.

Primary function: carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and carbon dioxide as a waste product, away from the tissues and back to the lungs.

Describe how the cell's shape and lack of mitochondria assist the cell in effectively carrying its primary function.

With the lack of a mitochondria, the cell does not use as much energy. These cells use none of the oxygen they transport; instead they produce the energy carrier ATP from glucose by a glycolysis pathway that ends with lactic acid production.
