Match the term with its correct definition:
Haemostasis = Slowing or stoppage of blood flow Thrombocytes = Component involved in clotting process Platelet plug = Initial formation to stop bleeding Coagulation factors = Proteins aiding in blood clotting
Match the prefix/suffix with its medical significance:
Thrombo- = Related to blood clotting Hepat- = Related to the liver -Gen = Indicates production -Emia = Related to blood condition
What is the initial response of platelets to damage in a blood vessel?
Release substances that make them sticky
What is the main purpose of the platelet plug formed during primary haemostasis?
To temporarily stop bleeding
What triggers platelets to become 'activated' during primary haemostasis?
Adhesion to the exposed inside of the vessel wall
What is the long term fix implied in the text that the platelet plug formed during primary haemostasis is not?
Complete restoration of the damaged vessel wall
In the context of primary haemostasis, what happens to activated thrombocytes as a result of releasing substances that make them sticky?
Recruitment and adhesion with other thrombocytes
Platelet Plug is a long-term solution to fix defects in blood vessels.
False
Damage to a blood vessel leads to the activation of thrombocytes through adhesion.
True
Activated thrombocytes recruit and adhere to white blood cells in the blood.
False
Platelet Plug formation occurs throughout the body on a weekly basis.
False
The primary purpose of a Platelet Plug is to permanently seal defects in blood vessels.
False
Thrombocyte is another term for ______ cell.
blood
Damage to a blood vessel exposes the ______ of the vessel wall.
inside
The primary function of the platelet plug is to initially ______ the defect in the blood vessel.
plug
Activated thrombocytes release substances that cause them to become ______ to other thrombocytes passing by in the blood.
sticky
The platelet plug formed during primary haemostasis is like a ______ that initially plugs the defect but isn't a long-term fix.
band-aid
Match the blood component with its role in primary haemostasis:
Platelet (thrombocyte) = Forms a plug to temporarily stop bleeding White blood cell = Fights infection Red blood cell = Carries oxygen in the blood Plasma = Carries nutrients and waste products
Match the following terms with their definitions in the context of primary haemostasis:
Platelet Plug = Temporary seal to stop bleeding in a blood vessel Adhesion = Process of platelets sticking to the vessel wall Thrombocyte Activation = Release of substances to recruit more platelets Haemostasis = Process of stopping bleeding from damaged blood vessels
