    Study Notes

    Section 1: Platelet Plug Formation and Coagulation

    • Clotting factors primarily regulate clot formation, not oxygen transport or blood flow.
    • Fibrin forms the network in a blood clot.
    • Vitamin K is crucial for clotting factor production.
    • The extrinsic clotting pathway begins with tissue factor release from damaged tissues.
    • Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin.
    • The intrinsic clotting pathway is initiated by factor XII activation upon contact with exposed collagen.

    Section 2: Clot Retraction and Dissolution

    • Fibrinolysis breaks down blood clots.
    • Plasmin is the enzyme that breaks down fibrin in clots.
    • Anticoagulants like heparin prevent clot formation.
    • Heparin is produced by basophils.

    Section 3: Blood Groups and Rh Factor

    • ABO blood type is determined by antigens on red blood cells.
    • Type O blood is the universal donor for red blood cells.
    • Type AB blood has no antibodies in the plasma.
    • The primary risk for an Rh-negative mother carrying an Rh-positive fetus is hemolytic disease of the newborn.
    • RhoGAM prevents this disease by blocking the mother's immune response to fetal Rh antigens.

    Section 4: Diagnostic Blood Tests

    • Hematocrit measures the percentage of red blood cells in blood.
    • The normal hemoglobin range for males is 14-18 g/100 mL.
    • A differential white blood cell count measures the types and percentages of white blood cells.
    • The most abundant white blood cell is neutrophils.
    • Prothrombin time measures the time it takes for blood to clot.

    Section 5: Hemostasis

    • Vascular spasm is the first step in hemostasis.
    • Platelet plugs form by platelets adhering to collagen in damaged blood vessels.
    • Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin.
    • Factor XIII stabilizes the fibrin clot during the final stage of coagulation.
    • Clot retraction squeezes serum out of the clot to condense it.
    • Plasminogen is activated to plasmin during fibrinolysis to break down fibrin.

    Section 6: Blood Groups and Rh Factor

    • Type O blood is the universal donor for red blood cells due to lacking A or B antigens.
    • Type AB blood is the universal recipient due to not having antibodies to A or B antigens.
    • Agglutination occurs when a person receives blood with incompatible antigens .
    • Hemolytic disease of the newborn is a risk when an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus.
    • RhoGAM blocks the mother's immune response to the Rh antigen to prevent the development of antibodies.

    Section 7: Diagnostic Blood Tests

    • A complete blood count determines ABO and Rh blood type.
    • A platelet count measures platelets per microliter of blood.
    • The normal range for white blood cell count is 5,000-10,000 per microliter.
    • Hematocrit reflects the percentage of blood volume made up of red blood cells.

    Section 8: Hemoglobin and Gas Transport

    • Hemoglobin's primary function is transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide.
    • Carbaminohemoglobin binds to carbon dioxide for transport.
    • Vitamin C and stomach acid increase iron absorption for hemoglobin production.
