Which of the following best describes the role of substances in the blood during hematopoiesis?
Which of the following best describes the role of substances in the blood during hematopoiesis?
- They guide the differentiation of initial cells into specific blood cell types based on the body's needs. (correct)
- They initiate the process of bone marrow formation.
- They create the protein mesh to reinforce the platelet plug.
- They directly form the structure of red blood cells.
During primary hemostasis, what is the immediate effect of endothelial injury that helps reduce blood loss?
During primary hemostasis, what is the immediate effect of endothelial injury that helps reduce blood loss?
- Formation of a fibrin mesh.
- Exposure of collagen.
- Vascular spasm. (correct)
- Activation of circulating platelets.
What critical event occurs during the adhesion step of primary hemostasis?
What critical event occurs during the adhesion step of primary hemostasis?
- ADP and Thromboxane A2 induce the expression of the GPIIA/IIIA surface protein.
- Fibrinogen binds to multiple platelets, clumping them together.
- Circulating platelets bind to von Willebrand factor via the GP1B receptor. (correct)
- Platelets change shape and develop tentacle-like arms.

Hematopoiesis
Hematopoiesis
Blood cell formation in the bone marrow, starting with a few cells that differentiate based on the body's needs.
Primary Hemostasis
Primary Hemostasis
Platelets clump together to form a temporary plug at the injury site.
Secondary Hemostasis
Secondary Hemostasis
The platelet plug is strengthened by a mesh of fibrin proteins.

Study Notes
- Hematopoiesis is the formation of blood cells in the bone marrow.
- The process starts with a single cell and escalates to many cells.
- The cells undergo changes to become the final blood cells.
- Substances in the blood drive cell changes as needed by the body, deciding if cells become red blood cells or immune cells.
Primary vs. Secondary Hemostasis
- Primary hemostasis: platelets clump together to form a plug at the injury site.
- Secondary hemostasis: the platelet plug is reinforced by a fibrin protein mesh.
5 Steps of Primary Hemostasis
- Endothelial Injury:
- Decreases blood less through vascular spasm.
- Exposure:
- Collagen below the endothelial cells is exposed.
- Von Willebrand factor binds to the exposed collagen.
- Adhesion:
- Circulating platelets bind to the von Willebrand factor via surface protein GP1B.
- Activation:
- Platelets change shape, acquiring "tentacle-like arms".
- Platelets release substances to attract more platelets.
- ADP and Thromboxane A2 cause platelets to express surface protein GPIIB/IIIA.
- Aggregation:
- GPIIB/IIIA on platelets binds to fibrinogen.
- Fibrinogen binds to multiple platelets, clumping them together.

Description
Hematopoiesis is the formation of blood cells in the bone marrow. Hemostasis can be described as primary where platelets clump together to form a plug at the injury site, or secondary where the platelet plug is reinforced by a fibrin protein mesh.
