Classify the following statements and characteristics with the appropriate method of clotting prevention. Circulatory shock interferes with it. Normal rates of blood flow account for it. Prostacyclin coats the vessel walls. Antithrombin deactivates thrombin before it can act on fibrinogen. Heparin interferes with the formation of prothrombin activator. It occurs when blood vessels are undamaged. Heparin promotes the action of antithrombin. Heparin blocks the action of thrombin on fibrinogen. Repulsion Dilution Anticoagulants

6. Place the following coagulation steps in the correct order. (Place a number 1 in the blank by the first step, a 2 in the blank by the second step, etc.) (7 marks) a) ___Sticky fibrin threads form a web at the site of injury. b) ___Both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways result in the production of the enzyme prothrombin activator. c) ___Thrombin transforms the soluble plasma protein fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin. d) ___Red blood cells and platelets become trapped in the fibrin web to create a clot of fibrin, blood cells and platelets. e) ___Prothrombin is converted to the enzyme thrombin. f) ___Prothrombin activator acts on the globulin prothrombin (factor II). g) ___Damage to the inside of a blood vessel activates the intrinsic pathway. Damage to tissue outside blood vessels activates the extrinsic pathway. 7. Which of the following statements are true of erythrocytes? (Read carefully and select all the correct statements.) (3 marks) a) The protein hemoglobin contains the mineral iron. b) The mineral iron enables erythrocytes to carry oxygen. c) Erythrocytes pick up oxygen in pulmonary capillaries. d) The shape of an erythrocyte is best described as a deflated soccer ball. e) Hemoglobin that has given up its oxygen is called deoxygenated hemoglobin. f) The life span of an erythrocyte is about 60 days.
