The average full replacement dose of levothyroxine sodium is approximately 1.7 mcg/kg/day (e.g., 100-125 mcg/day for a 70 kg adult). Older patients may require less than 1 mcg/kg/day.
Platelets are best described as. cytoplasmic fragments of cells. Identify the blood type that is the universal donor. O. Identify the giant cells that are located in the red bone marrow and they give rise to thrombocytes.
The production of formed elements, or blood cells, is called hemopoiesis. Before birth, hemopoiesis occurs primarily in the liver and spleen, but some cells develop in the thymus, lymph nodes, and red bone marrow.ll types of formed elements develop from a single cell type -- stem cell (pleuripotential cells or hemocytoblasts). Seven different cell lines, each controlled by a specific growth factor, develop from the hemocytoblast.
