Study Notes
Fibrinogen to Fibrin Conversion
- Thrombin (IIa) acts on fibrinogen (Factor I) to produce fibrin monomer (Factor Ia)
- Fibrin monomers spontaneously polymerize into long fibrin fibers
- Fibrin fibers form the reticulum of the clot
- The clot is a network of fibrin fibers that traps blood cells, platelets, and plasma.
- The clot adheres to vascular openings to prevent blood loss
Intrinsic Pathway
- This test is sensitive to factors involved in the intrinsic pathway.
- The expected clotting time range is 5-10 minutes.
ABO Blood System
- The ABO blood system classification depends on the presence or absence of agglutinogens (antigens) on red blood cell surfaces.
- Two antigens, type A and type B, occur on the surface of red blood cells.
- Group A red blood cells have surface antigen A and antibody B.
- Group AB red blood cells have surface antigens A & B and no antibodies.
T Helper Cells
- T helper cells constitute about 75% of total T cells.
- T helper cells are major regulators of immune function.
- T helper cells produce protein mediators called lymphokines.
