Introduction to Hemostasis and Megakaryopoiesis

A series of complex processes by which the body

spontaneously stops bleeding and maintains

blood on its fluid state within the blood vessel

compartment

Spontaneously stops bleeding

Maintains blood on fluid state within the vessel

compartment 

activated to prevent bleeding.

• Platelets and Clotting factors

• Fibrinogen and Calcium

the formation of or presence of

blood clot within a blood vessel

• Thrombosis

• Hemorrhage

profuse discharge of blood from

the blood vessel

• Thrombosis

• Hemorrhage

decreased platelet

count

• Thrombosis

• Hemorrhage

Pertaining about the number of platelets.

• QUANTITATIVE PLATELET DEFECT

• QUALITATIVE PLATELET DEFECT

platelet count is

normal but the individual is still bleeding. Maybe, it is

because the function of platelet is defective.

Hemorrhage is also known as
