Study Notes

Atomic Structure

The electrically charged protons in the nucleus attract electrons, maintaining them in their orbits around the nucleus.
An atom is neutral because it has an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.

Atomic Number and Mass

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus.
The atomic weight or mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Platelets

The normal range for platelet count in the blood is 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter.
Platelets originate from megakaryocytes in the bone marrow.
The primary cause of immediate vasoconstriction of injured blood vessels is the release of thromboxane A2 and endothelin-1, which are potent vasoconstrictors.
The first step in platelet plug formation is the adhesion of platelets to the injured blood vessel wall, facilitated by von Willebrand factor.
