|
Definition
| because liver produces plasma proteins and if there are a lack of these, the water will remain outside of blood and cause edema |

| Why and How are new RBCs formed? |
|
Definition
the kidney senses a decrease in the amount of O2 carrying.
Kidney sends erythropoietin to bone marrow which then makes more RBCs (erythropoiesis) |
|

| What can aspirin do for clotting? |
|
Definition
| aspirin is an antithromboxane which disallows for clotting |

|
Term
| What can TPA do for clotting? |
|
Definition
| activates plasmin which gets rid of existent clots |
|
|
Term
| Intrinsic Pathway in Coagulation |
|
Definition
| caused by collagen exposure. activates Factor 12 |
|
|
Term
| Extrinsic Pathway in coagulation |
|
Definition
| damaged tissues expose tissue factor 3. This activates factor 7. |
|
|
Term
| What is the role of Thrombin in coagulation? |
|
Definition
| Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin which causes clotting. |
|
|
Term
| What is the role of Plasmin? |
|
Definition
| Plasmin is made from plasminogen by thrombin and TPA. Plasmin breaks down fibrin polymers into fibrin fragments to get rid of clot at the end. |

Term
| What is the purpose of Folic Acid in blood? |
|
Definition
| Folic acid is a B12 vitamin that creates Thymine which helps make RBCs. Decrease in Folic Acid leads to decreased RBCs and ultimately anemia. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when your hematocrit is too high, just like in dehydration, except this time it is because you overproduce RBCs |
