Hematology

QuestionAnswer
What is included in the hematological system blood, bone marrow, Reticuloendothelial system (spleen, lymph system)

what is cellular immunity T cells kill foreign cells directly
what is humoral immunity plasma cells produce antibodies called immunoglobulins that destroy
How is platelet production regulated by thrombopoietin which stimulates produciton of megakaryocytes from myeloid stem cells. Lifespan of 7-10 days

Once fibrin clot is formed and injured vessel is repaired what happens? fibrinolytic(lyse fibrin clot) system, plasminogen(protein to dissolve clots) to lyse fibrin(basis of blood clot).
