Blood

Inflammatory Remarks

100

These two sites store white blood cells until inflammation begins

Bone marrow

Lymph system

200

This is the first step of the inflammatory response according to Guyton

Vasodilation of site

300

White blood cells have these two roles addressing invading pathogens

Phagocytic ingestion

Antibody formation

400

This system intercepts soft tissue interstitial space pathogens and prevents insertion into blood

Lymphatic system

500

Neutrophils comprise this percentage of white blood cells

60%

Drop Its Like Its Clot

100

The presence of this electrolyte is needed throughout the clotting cascade

Calcium

200

Lack of function to this organ can affect creation of clotting factors needed for the clotting cascade

Liver

300

This factor is involved in both the extrinsic and intrinsic pathway

Factor X or Xa

400

This circulating in blood binds to platelets at the vascular injury sites by Glycoprotein IIb

von Willebrand Factor

500

Thrombin has these three important roles in the clotting process

Form clot

Activate platelets

Catalyze formation of fibrin

Bloody Hell

100

This commonly digested nutrient is critical to production of hemoglobin

Iron

200

The body will make this many platelets per day per ml of blood under normal circumstances

30,000

300

The life span of RBCs

120 days

400

This hormone, primarily excreted by the kidney, initiates the production of RBC

Erythtropoietin

500

vWF binding to platelets results in the release of this substance which causes vasoconstriction and activation of other platelets

Thromboxane A2

Blood Bank

100

Normal ranges for hemoglobin and hematocrit

14-15

40-45%

200

This volume of blood is what contains all of the clotting factors

Plasma

300

This waste product of warming fresh frozen plasma is used as another blood product

Cryprecipitate (Fribrinogen)

400

The product Kcentra contains these 4 factors

II, VII, IX, X

500

This enzyme contained in RBCs changes CO2 and water to carbonic acid and eventually bicarb to be transported in the plasma

Carbonic anhydrase

To Clot or Not to Clot

100

The exposure of this element triggers the extrinsic clotting cascade

Tissue factor

200

This is the most prevalent circulating clotting factor

Fibrinogen

300

This common laboratory test evaluates Factors VII, X, and V 

Prothrombin Time

400

Heparin works on this naturally circulating plasma protein, increasing its action by 1000 times

Anti-thrombin III

500

This mechanism results in thrombin generating more thrombin and more fibrin being enmeshed until hemorrhage ceases

Positive feedback
