Granulocytes- visible granules in cytoplasm (enzymes and proteins) Agranulocytes-lack visible granules

- forms as a result of fragmentation of large cells in the red bone marrow - involved in the process of clotting

Platelets

The steps of blood clotting...

- platelets form a plug for immediate stoppage of bleeding - platelets and damaged tissue release prothrombin activator which requires calcium ions - prothrombin activator activates the plasma protein prothrombin to thrombin - thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin - three threads of fiberin become interwoven into a patch clot, is composed of a network of fibrin threads in trapped cells - as damage heals, plasmin breaks down the clot and restores fluidity of the plasma

- inherited disorder - deficiency in a clotting factor - internal bleeding can cause serious damage to cells and tissues

Hemophilia
