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

# data[].attributes.body
What must happen before the platelets will stick to the walls of blood vessels?
vessels must be damaged and collagen fibers must be exposed
What role does ADP play in platelet plug formation?
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 cause more platelets to stick and release more chemicals

How does vasoconstriction help in the process of hemostasis?
significantly reduces blood flow until other mechanisms can kick in

What are some things that could trigger it?
direct injury to vascular smooth muscle, pain reflexes

# data[].attributes.body
What is it?
fast series of reactions for stoppage of bleeding

Sickle Cell anemia vs iron deficiency anemia
sickle cell is caused by a mutation of DNA where iron deficiency impares o2 absorption
Which type of anemia is caused by a mutation?
sickle cell
Why does iron deficiency cause symptoms?
because we need iron in our blood for clotting
Does a person with iron deficiency have cells that are sickle in shape?
no they are normal shape

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

its the only one with nuclei and organelles

Primary function of a Leukocyte:

its primary function is defense against disease

What is the difference between Granulocytes and Agranulocytes?

agranulocytes do not contain visible cytoplasmic granules where granulocytes do.

Primary function: dedicated to respiratory gas transport

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

they're bioconcave which means that they have more surface area to hold more oxygen. They do not consume the oxygen they transport bc they lack mitochondria
