5 exca Physiology, Coagulation Pathways Flashcards
Cascade of events that leads to homeostasis
The coagulation pathway
Two paths of coagulation
Intrinsic and extrinsic
T/F: the purpose of coagulation is to ultimately stabilize the platelet plug with a fibrin mesh
True
Function of coagulation pathway is to keep _____ which is the blockage of a bleeding or hemorrhage
Homeostasis
_____ homeostasis is an aggregation of platelets forming a plug at the damaged site of exposed endothelial cells
Primary homeostasis
_____hemostasis includes the two main coagulation pathways, intrinsic and extrinsic, that meet up at a point to form the common pathway.
Secondary
The common pathway ultimately activates _________into fibrin
Fibrinogen
Does fibrin subunits have an affinity for each other to combine into fibrin strands that bind the platelets together, stabilizing the platelet plug?
Yes
The intrinsic pathway consists of factors
Factor I, II, IX, X, XI, and XII
Name of factor 1
Fibrinogen
Name of factor 2
Prothrombin
Name of factor 9
Christmas factor or plasma thromboplastin component (PTA)
Name of factor 10
Stuart prower factor
Name of factor 11
Plasma thromboplastin antecedent (PTA)
Name of factor 12
Hageman factor
Factor 7 is called?
Stable factor
Common pathway consists of
Factor I, II, V, VIII, X
The factors circulate through the bloodstream as zymogens and are activated into
Serine proteases
These serine proteases act as a catalyst to cleave the next zymogen into more serine proteases and ultimately activate
Fibrinogen
Factors that has serine protease
Factor II, VII, IX, X, XI and XII
Factors has no serine proteases
Factor V, VIII, XIII
