What does coagulation do for the platelet plug?
Reinforces platelet plug with fibrin threads; blood transformed from liquid to gel.

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

What role does ADP play in platelet plug formation?
Causes more platelets to stick together 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 chemicals.

How does vasoconstriction help in the process of hemostasis?
Responds to injury.

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

What is it?
Fast series of reactions for stoppage of bleeding.

Sickle Cell anemia vs iron deficiency anemia

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

Why does iron deficiency cause symptoms?
Cannot synthesize hemoglobin because the lack of iron.

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"?

Leukocytes are considered a complete cell because they have nuclei and organelles.

Primary function of a Leukocyte: function and defense against disease.

What is the difference between Granulocytes and Agranulocytes?

Granulocytes contain visible cytoplasmic granules while agranulocytes do not.

Primary function: contribute to gas transport; filled with hemoglobin for gas transport.

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

Bioconcave shape offers huge surface area relative to volume for gas exchange. RBC's have no mitocondria because ATP production is anaerobic, so they do not consume oxygen they transport.
