hematopoiesis
bone marrow is found in:
pelvis, spine, ribs, cranium, proximal end of long bones (also liver in fetus)
75% cells produced are ___, ___% RBCs
WBC; 25

blood cell development begin with:
pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell
examples of cytokines?
EPO, TPO, colony stim factors, interleukins, stem cell factor
RBC 3 major tasks:
1) carry o2 from lungs–>tissues
2) carry CO2 from tissue to lungs
3) buffer

70
Two major groups of WBC:
granulocytes and non-granule lymphocytes (T and B) and monocytes
platelets contain these 2 types of granules:
dense core granules (Ca, serotonin, ADP, ATP), alpha granules (von Willebrand, fibrinogen, clotting factor 5)
the prevention of hemorrage
hemostasis
steps of hemostasis:
1) vasoconstriction (serotonin)
2) form platelet plug
3) coagulation
why don’t platelets attach to healthy endothelial?
both have neg charge
PAF signals platelets to release a vasoconstrictor called:
thrombxane A2
