Definition
Plasma: Albumin, Plasma Proteins, Glucose, electrolytes
Term
Volume of Blood

Definition
Regulates the 45% cellular blood component. Kidney senses low 02 and increases Erythropoietin which in turn signals bone marrow to increase RBC
Term
Signal for Clotting Cascade
Definition
Exposed collagen signals platelets to stick to collagen and other platelets. Forms soft clot (initial Hemostasis)
Term
Stable Clot formation
Definition
Fibrinogen---Thrombin--->Fibrin. Fibrin forms covalent cross linkage at the damaged site completing the stable clot.

Clotting Cascade
Definition
Exponentially increases. Factors at each step require Calcium (2+) and several require vitamin K.

Definition
Hole/ exposed collagen
Term
Extrinsic Clotting Pathway

Term
Plasmin in Lungs
Definition
Prevents blood clots from reaching brain, etc..(STROKE). If there is an atrial septal defect then clots will go around the lungs into circulation = STROKE

Kidney Pathway (Blood)
Definition
Blood enters kidney through renal artery, enters glomerulous (encapsulated capillary) through afferent arteriole and leaves through efferent arteriole. Reabsorption occurs next to kidney tubule before blood exits kidney through renal vein.
Term
Glomerulous Pathway
