Why platelet not active to clotting blood before we have injury?​

adoni [48]2 years ago

Answer:

Platelets are not activated before an injury occurs because that activation is inhibited while they are circulating and there is no damage to the vacular wall.

Explanation:

Platelets are responsible for forming a haemostatic stopper, at the end of the blood coagulation process. These blood components have the ability to go to the place where the vessel wall is damaged and clump together to prevent blood from leaking out.

Platelet migration and activation occurs when the vascular wall endothelium is injured. When this happens, some substances are released - such as adrenaline, ADP and thromboxane A2, among others - and promote platelet activation.

<em>However, this process should not occur before an injury occurs, as it can promote the formation of thrombi that can circulate in the blood vessels and block them.</em>

<u>An inhibitory mechanism, dependent on nitric oxide and prostaglandins, prevents platelets from being activated and clumping in the absence of injury</u>.

A manager expects to do about 120 covers this Friday night. Usually, about one in five people orders pasta. About half of those
Nana76 [90]
The correct answer is 180 ounces.
According to the information provided, the manager expects 120 people that night. The probability of ordering pasta is 1 in 5, which means that 24 of the 120 people visiting the restaurant will order pasta (120/5 = 24). Half of these people (12) are expected to order a dinner portion and half (12) will order the half portion. Since, the dinner portion weighs 10 ounces, 12 people will need 120 (12*10) ounces. Also, the half portion weighs 5 ounces, so 12 people will need 60 (12*5) ounces. In total, he will need 120+60=180 ounces of pasta.
