COAGULATION AND THROMBI Haemostasis‚ the physiological response to vascular injury‚ results in the formation of a haemostatic plug that prevents blood loss. Under normal conditions‚ factors that promote blood coagulation are balanced by those that inhibit it. Pathologic thrombosis occurs when procoagulant stimuli overwhelm natural anticoagulant and fibrinolytic systems. Venous thrombi‚ which form under low shear conditions‚ are predominantly composed of fibrin and red cells. Thrombi may develop

cardiac syndrome X is unknown. One explanation is microvascular dysfunction. For reasons that are not well known‚ women are more likely than men to have it; however‚ hormones and other risk factors unique to women may play a role. In summary the pathophysiology of an acute coronary event includes (1) endothelial damage through plaque disruption‚ irregular luminal lesions‚ and shear injury; (2) platelet aggregation; (3) thrombus formation causing partial or total lumen occlusion; (4) coronary artery vasospasm;

Our assignment was to write how Edgar Allan Poe died‚ based on the information we were given in articles. His death was a controversial topic‚ since no one really knows how he truly passed away. Rabies‚ alcoholism‚ and atrial fibrillation were three topics that were discussed. We wrote an argumentative essay on his cause of death to expand and refine our skills as writers. It helped us learn how to properly construct a persuasive essay. In “Anthem‚” there are multiple subjects

A stroke occurs when the blood flow to a particular area of the brain is cut off‚ depriving the brain cells of oxygen and glucose. If the brain doesn’t receive oxygen for a period of time it can result it permanent brain damage or even death. There are two different specific types of strokes‚ an ischemic stroke and a hemorrhagic stroke. There is also a type of minor hemorrhagic stroke called a transient ischemic stroke. Specifically an Ischemic stroke is the most common‚ they are very similar to

Module 6 – Written Assignment – A Broken Heart There are multiple functions of hemoglobin. The aim of this is to focus and discuss several parallel biological functions of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has a molecular heat transducer through it oxygenation deoxygenation cycle. Hemoglobin has a modulator of erythrocyte metabolism. Hemoglobin oxidation as an onset of erythrocyte senescence. Hemogloblin and its implication in genetic resistance to malaria. The enzymatic activities of hemoglobin and
