What’s in blood? Plasma: Mostly water Ions (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cl, CO 3 ) Proteins Food & waste Gasses hormones Cellular elements: Red blood cells (transport) White blood cells (immune) Platelets (clotting).
Clotting: 1.Platelets adhere to collagen fibers in damaged tissue 2.Platelets for a plug 3.Platelets release clotting factors 4.Clotting factors turn prothrombin into thrombin 5.Thrombin turns fibrinogen into fibrin 6.Fibrin reinforces clot
Clotting: platelets
Clotting: platelets
Clotting: 1.Platelets adhere to collagen fibers in damaged tissue.
Clotting: 2.Platelets form a temporary plug.
Clotting: 3.Platelets release clotting factor
Clotting: 3.Platelets release clotting factor 4.Clotting factor turns prothrombin into thrombin
Clotting: 3.Platelets release clotting factor 4.Clotting factor turns prothrombin into thrombin 5.Thrombin turns fibrinogen into fibrin
Clotting: 6.Fibrin reinforces the clot
Diseases of the Circulatory System: atherosclerosis (narrowing) arteriosclerosis (hardening) hypertension (high blood pressure) HDL & LDL (good & bad cholesterol) heart attack stroke hemophilia.
