APA 2 - Hemostasis Flashcards
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
Endothelial cells that cause VASCONSTRICTION
Thromboxane A2, Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
Endothelial Cells that cause VASODILATION
Nitric oxide, Prostacyclin
Endothelial cell that is a coagulation INHIBITOR
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor
Tunica media is considered ________ and is what?
subendothelial / Extremely thrombogenic and very active
Where is collagen and fibronectin located?
Tunica Media
Tunica __________ is the outermost or 3rd layer. Control of blood flow is influenced by the vessel’s degree of ________.
contraction
Nitric oxide influences vessel-wall vasodilation by causing ______ ______
muscle relaxation
Mediators of the Intima Layer
VWf, Tissue factor, prostacyclin, nitric oxide
Meidators of the Media layer (subendothelial)
collagen, fibronectin
Collagen is a ___________ and its function is ______ _____
procoagulant / tenisle strength
vWF is a ___________ and its function is _________
procoagulant / adhesion
Fibronectin is a _______ and its function is _________
procoagulant / mediates cell adhesion
Tissue pathway factor inhibitor is an _________ and its function is
anticoagulant / inhibits tissue factor
Nitric oxide is a _________ and smooth muscle relaxer
vasodilator
Prostacyclin causes __________ and inhibits ________ as well as promotes smooth muscle relaxation
vasodilation / aggregation
__________ are an essential component of the thromobgenic response
Platelets
Platelets are formed in the _____ ____. What is the concentration, survival and daily platelet use?
bone marrow / Concentration: 150,000 - 300,000 Survivial: 8-12 days Daily use: 7.1 x 10^3
Platelet characteristics
contain mitochondira, glycogen stores, contractile proteins, calcium and enzymes, Alpha granules, dense granules
Alpha Granules of platelets store proteins like
vWF, fribrinogen, fibronectin, platelet factor 4, platelet growth factor
Dense granules of platelets store non-proteints like
serotonin, ADP, ATP, histamine, epinephrine
Platelet cells produce _________ which activate coagulation factors and influence recruitment of ________
thrombin / platelets
Do platelets have a nuclues, DNA or RNA?
NO
Platelets are ________ unless activated as a result of tissue trauma
inactive
Adequate hemostasis is not possible in the absence of ________ platelets
activated
Clot formation happends when there is a disruption of _______ _______. Vessel wall contraction happens immediately due to _______ reflex, ____________ and ________. Then you have formation of the primary plug which involves (ADHESION, ACTIVATION, AGGREGATION )
endothelial lining / ANS , thromboxane A2, ADP
What are the 8 steps to formation of the primary plug (adhesion)?
- vWF mobilizes from the endothelial cells and emerges from the endothelial lining. 2. Glycoprotein Ib (GpIB) receptors emerge from the surface of the platelet. 3. GpIb attaches to vWF and attracts additional platelets to the endothelial lining. 4. vWF makes platelets “sticky” and allows them to adhere to site of injury 5. Tissue factor causes the platelet to undergo a conformational change and become “activated”, then IIb and IIIa extend from the platelet 6. The GpIIb-IIIa receptor complex links activated platelets together (aggregation) to form a primary platelet plug 7. The platelets mound together to seal and heal the site of injury within the blood vessel. 8. As platelets undergo this “activation” process they also release alpha and dense granules, contractile granules, thrombin, and procoagulant mediators in the blood
_________ _______ causes the platelet to undergo a confomrational change and become “activated”
tissue factor
Two additional glycoproteins extend from the platelet. What are they?
IIb and IIIa
Activated platelets show little cell feet called ________
pseudopdia
Pseudopods link activated platelets together with ______ to form a mound to “patch” injury to vessel walls.
fibrinogen
Cofactors (ZYMOGENS) are enzymes with the exception of factors ___ and ____.
V and VIII
Coagulation cofactors (ZYMOGENS) circulate in an inactive state until they are activated to assist in the process of _______
coagulation
What activates Zymogens?
tissue or organ damage
Which factors are synthesized by the liver?
Fibrinogen (I), Prothrombin (II), Proaccelerin (V), Proconvertin (VII), Antihemophiliac (VIII), Christmas (IX), Stuart Prower (X), Hageman (XII), Fibrin Stabilizing (XIII). So factors 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
