Question
Answer
Formed from megakaryocytes residing in the bone marrow; released into peripheral blood   platelets (thrombocytes)  
🗑
how long to platelets circulate? what are they removed by?   9-12 days; liver and spleen  
🗑
What are the 3 zones of a platelet?   peripheral, sol-gel, organelle  
🗑
Direct contact with blood, coagulation factors interact here, stickiness   peripheral  
🗑
microtubules and microfilaments; shape changes   sol-gel  
🗑
platelet metabolism   organelle  
🗑
What are the 3 main functions of a platelet?   1. maintain vascular epithelium 2. respond to vascular injury by producing platelet plug 3. participate in plasma coagulation and help form fibrin clot  
🗑
Reference value for normal peripheral blood platelet count   150,000-450,000/mm^3 (ul)  
🗑
How do you collect a satisfactory peripheral blood specimen for use in platelet counts?   venous blood; EDTA anticoagulant  
🗑
Red blood cell diluting pipette   Capillary tube  
🗑
Platelet diluting fluid   1% ammonium oxalate  
🗑
Functions of platelet diluting fluid   lyse RBCs, dilute out WBCs and platelets  
🗑
Charge hemocytometer   pipette at a 45 degree angle, tip at edge of coverglass, squeeze a drop of fluid and capillary action will draw it in  
🗑
How do you prevent double counting of platelets?   Don't count platelets on the bottom or right border, count them if at the top or left border  
🗑
What is hemostasis   The process which has evolved to prevent spontaneous bleeding and stop bleeding that has been initiated by trauma  
🗑
vasoconstriction   vascular  
🗑
diversion of blood flow around an injured area   vascular  
🗑
activating platelets   vascular  
🗑
activating coagulation system when a clot is required   vascular  
🗑
maintenance of health vascular epithelial cells by releasing an endothelial growth factor   platelet  
🗑
stoppage of bleeding by forming platelet plug   platelet  
🗑
creation of stable hemostatic plug   platelet  
🗑
coagulation factors form fibrin   coagulation  
🗑
coagulation cascade   coagulation  
🗑
extrinsic and intrinsic pathways and common pathway   coagulation  
🗑
plasmin degrades fibrin and reestablishes blood flow   fibrinolytic  
🗑
promotes healing   fibrinolytic  
🗑
PT   prothrombin time  
🗑
used to monitor action of extrinsic system   prothrombin time  
🗑
APTT   Activated partial thromboplastin time  
🗑
evaluates function of intrinsic system   APTT  
🗑
what is the anticoagulant used in a one-stage PT   sodium citrate, blue tube top  
🗑
Whats the difference btwn serum and plasma   serum is plasma without clotting proteins  
🗑
what type of patient sample is used in a one-stage PT   venous blood  
🗑
typical reference value for PT   10-13 seconds  
🗑
What reagent is used to preform a PT; what substances in it cause it to clot?   thromboplastin - CaCl2 reagent; calcium and thromboplastin factor III  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
