Erythrocytes cance of the bold italic terms in this
chapter.
Platelets • What are the formed elements of blood?
Leukocytes How are they derived, what are their
Plasma and Serum primary characteristics, and what fac-
Blood pH tors result in either their formation or
Hemostasis and Coagulation degeneration?
Platelets and the Endothelium • What is the physiologic role of hemo-
globin? Briefly describe how icterus
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Coagulation Pathways and hemoglobinuria can occur. In a
Lymph patient with severe hemolysis, would
Serous Fluids the hematocrit be high or low? What
term would you use to describe this
patient?
• Illustrate the intrinsic and extrinsic
coagulation pathways. What are the
primary elements needed to form a
thrombus? How do heparin and vitamin
K antagonists disrupt the coagulation
cascade?
• Compare and contrast lymph versus
