Q

What happens when a BV is injured?

A

Exposure of the materials inside the BV will act as a catalyst to kick off a number of processes that lead to plugging the hole. BV constricts and platelet aggregation occurs.

Q

WHat does COX 2 pruduce and what is its use?

A

Produces prostaglandin in endothelial cells. Vasodilation and inhibiton of platelet aggregation

34
Q

What does COX 1 produce? What is its use?

A

Produces thromboxane A2 in platelets. Used for vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation.

35
Q

What do selective COX 2 inhibitors do? what effect does this have?

A

They block synthesis of prostacyclin in endothelial cells, while not blocking TXA2. This leads to pro-platelet aggregation, increasing CV events.
