What is the purpose/outcome of phase III of coagulation in hemostasis?

Which one of the following is NOT a step in the process of hemostasis?

Briefly describe one structural feature of erythrocytes that makes them efficient for gas transport.

Name one function of blood that is considered a type of regulation or protection. (DON'T tell me a transport function!)

Which one of the following is the most common plasma protein in blood?

The body uses a negative feedback loop to help maintain proper oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. This response involves the release of erythropoietin (EPO) from the kidney. Which one of the following is NOT a stimulus for the release of erythropoietin?

Capillary hydrostatic and osmotic pressures are important to determining fluid movement between the blood and interstitial fluid in capillary beds. 

1. Please compare HPc and OPc in the arterial end of the capillary bed and in the venous end of the capillary bed. In this context, compare means describing which pressure is greater than the other or if pressures are equal.

2. Please describe how one of these pressures could change to promote edema. In this context, change means a specific pressure becomes higher or lower.

At which level of blood vessels is cross-sectional area the greatest and thus blood velocity the slowest?

In general, which one of these changes in local chemical variables (which are metabolic controls that act as stimuli in autoregulation of blood flow to an organ) will cause a response of arteriole dilation that increases blood flow to the area/tissue? You are choosing the stimulus for this event.

For the negative feedback loop that responds to changes in blood pressure sensed by baroreceptors, explain the following for when the stimulus is low blood pressure (hypotension):

A) What are the names of 2 out of the 3 regions of the medulla oblongata that serve as the control centers?

B) What are the two effector organs and how are their functions modified to promote an increase in BP as part of the response?
