Alterations In HEmostasis Flashcards
He most asks
Stopping of abnormal blood flow
Normal: Seals broken blood vessels
Abnormal: Inappropriate clotting and Insufficient clotting
Thrombopoietin
Stimulate production
Made in the liver, kidney, smooth muscle, bone marrow
Megakaryocytes
Formed in bone marrow
Break apart to form may platelets
Platelets
Live 8-9 days in circulation
Many are sorted in spleen
Released when needed
Coagulation factors
Needed to complete coagulation cascade.
Plasma proteins and Calcium
Plasma proteins
Most are synthesized by the liver
Von willebran factor made by endothelium
Rom numeral factors (8,9)
Produce the coagulation cascade
Calcium (factor IV)
Essential in all but 2 steps
Hypercalcimia: clotting
Vessel spasm
Injury which cause the vessel spasm to control the flow of blood
Platelet plug
Stop blood loss and blood flow
Von Willebran factor, Thromboxane and ADP
Coagulation
Thrombin causes Fibrinogen to become fibrin. Fibrin then makes the clot
Clot Retraction
Healing has taken place the clot then retracts
Clot lysis
Plasminogen activators cause plasminogen to become plasminogen.. Plasmin then breaks down the clot and gets rid of it
Intrinsic system
Vessel injury
Extrinsic System
Tissue injury
Hypercoagulability: Increase in platelet function
Atherosclerosis DM Smoking Hyperlipidemia Increased Platelet count Genetics
