Hemo/Stat Stoppage of Bleeding, vascular constriction, Platlet plug formation, coagulation
Where is smooth muscle found in the body? "Tube Like" areas: esphoagus, intestines, stomach, veins/arteries
How do platlets move through the body during homeostasis vs. injury? Normally platlets move freely unless they are reacting to an injury, then they stick together when forming a plug "mesh"

Diapedesis (WBC) WBCs moving through capillary walls into tissue spaces
Types of WBCs (leukocytes)5 Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Thrombocytes
Neutrophils first WBC to respond to tissue damage (injury) 50-70%
Eosinophils Neutralizes Histamines, destroys paracitic worms
Basophils S-Shaped, Secretes histamine & Heparin
Histamines do what Dialates blood vessels, increases blood flow to damaged tissues, dilates blood vessels in allergic reactions
Heparin does what inhibits blood clot formation
Lymphocytes do what Produces antibodies, they increase with certain VIRAL Diseases: mono, mumps, chixpox,rubella, viral hep
Monocytes do what Largest of WBCs, U-shaped nucleus,macrophages are Monocytes that leave the blood & enter the tissues,
Macrophages do what they are monocytes that leave the blood & enter the tissues, Engulf bacteria and cellular debris, Finish clean up process started by neutrophils
Thrombocytes do what (also called what) Platlets, they close the breaks in blood vessels, they become sticky and clump together to form platlet plugs, they intiate formation of blood clots
Hemostasis the stoppage of bleeding, 3 processes: Vascular Constriction, Platlet Plug Formation, Coagulation
Vascular Constriction first response to blood vessel injury, contracts smooth muscle in vessel walls (constriction), lasts only a few minutes, secrete a chemical: SEROTONIN
Prothrombin Activator first stage in clotting process - response to injury (tissue damage)
RH factors: which is more prevalent positive or negative 85% are positive
Pulmonary Vessels transport from Right Ventricle to LUNGS and back to Left Atrium
Systemic Vessels carry blood from Left Ventricle to all parts of the body then return it to Right Atrium
Arterioles microscopic arteries
Artery Wall consists of: Tunic Externa, Tunic Media, Tunic Intimia
Why do Arteries have higher pressure? They carry O2 to tissue organs
Capillaries characterists RBCs must go single file, Smallest & most numerous of the blood vessels, form a connection to Vessels that carry blood away from the heart (ARTERIES) and Vessels that return blood to the heart (VEINS)
Vessles that Carry blood TO the Heart VEINS
Vessles that Carry blood AWAY from the heart ARTERIES
Why are capillary walls thin to allow exchange of materials between the blood in the capillary & adjacent tissue cells
Veins characteristics Carry blood TOWARD the heart, have venous (lower pressure due to one way) valves, can hold more blood 70% of blood volume, have 3 layers, but less smooth muscle & conn tissue making vein walls thinner and less rigid than arteries.
Pulmonary Circuit (circulatory pathways) Xports blood from Right side of the heart to the lungs (then returns it to the left side of the heart), Poor 02,
Systemic Circuit (circulatory pathways) Provides blood supply to all body tissues, Carries 02 & nutrients to cells, picks up C02 & waste products, Carries 02 blood FROM Left Ventricle thru arteries to the caps in the tissues, from tissue caps, de02 blood returns thru system of Veins to R atrium
