Platelet peripheral zone is responsible for | Adhesion |
Platelet Solu-Gel zone is responsible for | Contraction |
Platelet organelle zone is responsible for | Secretion |
Bernard Soulier syndrome | Platelet disorder with giant platelets causes a deficiency of Glycoprotein 1b a receptor for Von W Factor |
Count for platelets in hemocytometer | |
The term used to indicate that a wound has stopped bleeding is? | Hemostasis |
Chemicals released from a vein by injury are called? | Vascular Factors |
Chemicals released by platelets to induce narrowing of the blood vessel are known as? | Platelet Factor |
Chemicals in the plasma that stops blood clotting are called? | Plasma Factor |
All the individual blood factors will cause? | Vasoconstriction |
Vascular Factor is also called? | Von Wilebrand's Factor |
The messenger for platelets to aggregate at an injury site is? | Vascular Factor |
The test for Von Wilebrands factor is the | Bleeding Time |
Bleeding time test determines a deficiency in which factor | Vascular or Von Wilebrands |
What is the normal value for the Bleeding Time? | less than 7.5 minutes |
What is the test that replaces the BT | PFA or PFT Platelet Function Assay/Test |
What changes to platelets does Vascular Factor affect? | Platelets grow fingers & become sticky |
A hemostatic plug is made up of what? | platelet aggregates |
Normally platelets are not sticky & don't adhere to vessel walls. When sticky, where do they adhere (anatomical) | Tunica media and adventitia |
The outer layer of a vein is the... | Tunica adventia |
The middle layer of a vein is the... | Tunica media |
The inner layer of a vein is the... | Tunica intima |
Which coagulation test is for platelet function? | PT Prothrombin |
In what tube is the PT test drawn? | Light blue |

What is the INR | International Normalized Results |
What is the normal INR result? | between 0.9 and 1.1 INR |
The formula for INR is... | Patient Results divided by the International normal. |
When drawing blood from a patient on anticoagulants what is of concern? | bruising or hematoma |
