9/29/20 Cardiovascular/Hemostasis for Exam 2 Flashcards
the immediate response of a vascular vessel to trauma (mechanical, chemical, biological)
vasoconstriction
vasoconstriction contraction results from
- local myogenic spasm to myogenic contraction –may be prolonged to allow for platelet plug formation
- release of autocoid factors from tissue injured tissue and platelets –endothelin
- nervous reflexes (pain receptors) –signals neighboring cells
prevention of blood loss
hemostasis
process of blood clot formation at the site of the vessel injury
- vasoconstriction
- platelet aggregation
- clot formation
in the process of clot maintenance the anticoagulation and fibrinolysis are active where
at the clot outer boudnary
early anticoagulation and fibrinolysis is concentrated in neighboring tissue
clot formation
initial clot is established and additional clot formation and fibrinolysis continues, with new clot formation near injury
clot maintenance
coagulation stimulus diminishes & anticoagulation mediators block new clot formation; fibrinolytic pathway predominates and the clot is ultimately removed
clot breakdown
MUST KNOW protein factors of Hemostasis
collagen von Willebrand Factor (vWF) Tissue Factor Thrombin (Factor IIa) Fibrinogen Fibrin Plasmin
under normal conditions, the surface of endothelial cells ______ thrombus formation
inhibits
vasodilator, inhibits platelet aggregation and activation
Prostacyclin (PGI2)
vasodilator, inhibits platelet aggregation and activation
Nitric Oxide (NO)
activates antithrombin
Heparin-like sulfate
alters activity of thrombin from activator of clotting factors to activator of anticoagulation factors
Thrombomodulin
inhibits TF, VIIa, Xa complex
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor
