9/4/13 Flashcards
When there is a vascular injury, what is the first response and what is secreted
neurogenic arteriolar vasonconstriction, endthelin is secreted
what activates platelets during a vascular injury
exposure to ECM
What are three ways that the endothelium prevents platelet aggregation
- Prevent contact with matrix,
- thrombin and cytokines bind to endothelial cells and release NO and PGI-2 which vasodilate and inhibit aggregation
- ADPase degrades ADP
What are three ways that the endothelium prevents coagulation factors
- antithrombin III binds to heparin like molecules and inactivates thrombin and factors XII,XI,X, and IX
- Thrombin binds to thrombomodulin which leads to Protein C inactivating factor V and VIII in the presence of Protein S
- tPA activates plasmin which cleaves fibrin
What promotes platelet adherence to the collagen of the ECM
von willebrand factor
What are the two specific granule types found in platelets
Alpha-granules (contain factor V and VIII), dense core granules (these contain histamin, serotonin, epinephrine, ADP, ATP, Ca2+)
During the secretion phase of prothrombotic activity, what is released and what happens
Ca2+ and ADP released, as granules released phospholipid surfaces of the platelet membrane become available to factors of the intrinsic pathway
During the aggregation phase of prothrombotic activity, what is released in addition to ADP
TXA2
What attracts macrophages and neutrophils to the site of coagulation?
Fibrin split products
Describe the intrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade
Kallikrein activates XII–> activates XI–> activates IX–> activates X in the presence of VIII, Ca2+ and phospholipid surface–> common pathway
Describe the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade
Tissue factor activates VII–> activates X–> common pathway
Describe the common pathway of the coagulation cascade
X activate thrombin from prothrombin in the presence of V–> thrombin cleaves fibrinogen to fibrin–> factor XIII helps stabilize the fibrin clot
Tissue factor pathway inhibtor inhibts which to coagulation factors
VII, X
Virchow’s triad of thrombosis formation include
- Endothelial injury
- Abnormal blood flow
- Hypercoagulability
Leiden factor is a mutation for which coagulation factor?
V, Protein C resistance
