Introduction
Blood clotting
Allergic Reaction
Hormone release
Immune response
Blood Clotting
Initiated by
Extrinsic mechanism
Substances from damaged tissues are mixed
with the blood,
Intrinsic mechanism
Blood itself is traumatized
Affected by more than 30 blood
substances.
Prothrombin – essential clotting
mechanism.
Platelets - initiates blood clotting
Vitamin K – needed to produce
prothrombin.
Blood Clot
Requirements:
thrombin
calcium ions (Ca2+)
clotting factors
Components:
Platelet plugs
enmeshed in a
network of insoluble
fibrin molecules
Clot Formation
Blood Clotting Mechanism
Immune Response
Antigen
Antibody
Lymphocytes
Phagocytic
Cells
Natural Killer
Cells
Cytokines
T-Cell Response
B – Cell Response
Lymphocytic Response
Allergic Reaction
An over reaction of the body’s
defense.
Response to invader.
Triggered by Allergens (antigens).
Can be caused by anything.
Can be life threatening.

Summary
Blood clotting is a protective
mechanism to avoid blood loss,
Immune response is body’s
defense.
Allergic reaction is an
exaggerated response to antigen.
Hormone release is to sustain
system functions.
Four functions are with special
association.
