BLOOD 2 Flashcards
ASPRIN what do mem phospholipids give rise to
arachidonic acid
ASPRIN under influence of COX1 what can arachidonic acid be converted into
TXA2
ASPRIN where is COX 1 located
platelets
ASPRIN what is the function of TXA2
- vasoconstriction
2. increase platelet aggregation
ASPRIN what kind of substance is TXA 2
pro-hemostatic
ASPRIN under influence of COX2 what can arachidonic acid be converted into
prostacyclin
ASPRIN where is COX 2 located
endothelium
ASPRIN what is the function of prostacyclin
- vasodilation
2. decrease platelet aggregation
ASPRIN what kind of substance is prostacyclin
anti-hemostatic
ASPRIN what is the function of aspirin
inhibit COX 1 and COX 2
ASPRIN what does aspirin have stronger effect on
COX 1
ASPRIN what is net effect of aspirin
anti hemostatic
BLOOD CLOT what is blood clot
blood cells trapped in network of fibrin proteins
BLOOD CLOT why can’t fibrin be present all the time
it will cause blood blot
BLOOD CLOT what is precursor for fibrin
soluble plasma protein fibrinogen
BLOOD CLOT what is the function of active thrombin
convert fibrinogen to fibrin
BLOOD CLOT why can’t thrombin be present all the time
it will cause fibrin to form
BLOOD CLOT what is precursor of thrombin
inactive enzyme prothrombin
BLOOD CLOT what is the function of prothrombinase
convert prothrombin to thrombin
BLOOD CLOT what is the function of factor 13a and Ca++
convert unstable fibrin to stable fibrin
BLOOD CLOT what is prothrombinase
- factor 5a
- factor 10a
- Ca++
- phospholipids
BLOOD CLOT what pathways are involved in activating factor 10a (traditional)
1, intrinsic
2. extrinsic
BLOOD CLOT what imitates intrinsic pathway
- blood comes into contact w something foreign
- nothing needs to be added to blood
BLOOD CLOT what is intrinsic pathway
- contact activation converts factor 12 to active form
- active factor 12 converts factor 11 to active form
- active factor 11 converts factor 9 to active from (in presence of Ca++)
- active factor 9 forms tenasec complex w factor 8, Ca++, and PL
- tenase complex converts factor 10 to active form
