Tunica Intima is also the ________ layer. It is the lining separating flowing blood from the _______.
endothelial / vessel
Endothelial cells synthesize and secrete procoagulants, anticoagulants and fibrinolytics. What are these (7)
vWF, tissue factor, nitric oxide, prostacyclin, thromboxane A2, ADP, Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor
The tunica intima forms a barrier separating FLUID CONTENTS within the blood vessel from the highly THROMBOGENIC material that lies in the _____ _____
tunica media
Necessary cofactor for ADHERENCE of platelets to suvendothelial layer
Von Willebrand factor (vWF)
Activates the clotting cascade pathway when INJURY to the vessel occurs
Tissue Factor
