What are T-Cells (lymphocytes) | destroys body’s own cells that have been taken over by virus or bacteria |
What are B-Cells (lymphocytes) | produces antibodies (Antibodies – specialized proteins that attach to foreign invaders. Helps the body recognize and rid itself of the invaders.) |
Thrombocytes or Platelets | -Are actually nuclear fragments of large, specialized cells called Megakaryocytes that are found in the bone marrow -Generally appear mottled, and lavender in staining - Important for clot formation |
Steps of hemostasis? | 1)Vessel constricts 2)Thrombocytes (platelets) stick to exposed collagen fibers 3)Platelets crowd and form a platelet plug 4)Fibrinogen most abundant plasma clotting factor protein in plasma 5)Last stage is forming the Thromus (clot) |

How should you dispose of hazardous materials? | ALWAYS dispose of needles and biohazards properly!!!! (Sharps container) |
Practice: To obtain a large sample of blood quickly you should draw from the cephalic vein T/F | False, to obtain a large sample quickly you should draw from the jugular vein. |
Practice: The first step in hemostasis is that the blood vessel constricts T/F | True |
