Blood Components: Platelets
Figure 16-10c: Megakaryocytes and platelets
• Coagulate, form plug, prevent blood loss• Formed by fragmentation from megakaryoctyes

Overview of Hemostasis: Clot Formation & Vessel Repair

Hemostasis: Vasoconstriction & Plug Formation
• Vasoconstriction• Platelet activation– Multiple factors– Positive feedback
• Aggregation • Loose plug

Hemostasis: Coagulation & Clot Stabilization
Figure 16-13: The coagulation cascade
• Prothrombin• Ca++• Fibrinogen• Fibrin• Polymerization

Dissolving the Clot and Anticoagulants
• Bleeding stopped• Vessel repair• Plasmin• Fibrinolysis• Clot dissolved

Coagulation and Disease• Hemophilia• Cardiovascular Diseases– Key problem – clots block undamaged blood vessels– Anticoagulants prevent coagulation• Keep platelets from adhering• Prevent fibrin coagulation
– "Clot Busters": Prevent further clotting• Speed fibrinolysis• Limit tissue damage (heart, brain…)

Summary
• Blood is about 50% plasma, water solvent & solutes: ions, elements, gasses, proteins, wastes & nutrients
• White blood cells function in internal defense• Iron in hemoglobin is key to RBC transport of O2 • Platelet activation initiates clot formation• Clotting prevents blood loss but is a problem in
cardiovascular disease
