Q

Platelet phase

A

1) Exposed collagen: binds and activated platelets

16
Q

What Intrinsic pathway respond to?
Which factors are activated?
Factor XI is activated by?

A

Contant activation
Factors: XII, XI, IX
Thrombin positive feedback from common pathway of thrombin

17
Q

Which factor does the von willebrand factor regulate
Why is vitamin K required?
What is Cuomadin (Warfarin) and what its function?

A

Levels of VIIII
Synthesis of thrombin, VII, IX and X
Anticoagulant which blocks the action of vitamin K

18
Q

One effect of a deficiency in factor IX and factor VIII?

A

Severe bleeding

19
Q

Cell based: location
Initiation phase
What starts this phase?

A

Cell membrane of smooth muscle?

Exposure of tissue factor: starts to produce small amounts of thrombin

20
Q

Amplification phase

Which factors does thrombin activate?

A

Factors V, XI and VIII

21
Q

Propagation phase
Active factors on the surface of platelets form ?
What is a thrombin burst?

A

Tenase

When prothrombin cleaves large amount of prothrombinase result in large amounts of thrombin

22
Q

Three characteristics of von Willebrand disease

A

1) Most common coagulation disorder
2) Problems in quality or quanitity of von willebrand factor
3) Areas with high number of smlal capillaries (skin, gi tract, uterus)

23
Q

Causes of Hemophilia A

Causes of Hemophilia B

A

Factor VIII

Factor IX

24
Q

How is the clot removed after healing has taken place?

What is this process called?

A

Requires thrombin, plasminogen and tPA to form plasmin: which cleaves the fibrin polymer to firbin fragments
Firbinolysis

25
Q

Where is tPA released?
Thrombus?
Embolus?

A

Slowly by the endothelium
Blood clot attached to vessel wall
Floating blood clot

26
Q

Physiological anticoagulants: released from:

1) Plasminogen/Plasmin
2) Tissues plasminogen activator (tPA)
3) Antithrombin III
4) Prostacyclin

A

1) Liver
2) Mant tissues
3) Liver
4) Endothelial cells

27
Q

Physiological anticoagulants: activated by:

1) Plasminogen/Plasmin
2) Tissues plasminogen activator (tPA)
3) Antithrombin III
4) Prostacyclin

A

1) tPA and thrombin
2) Normally present
3) Heparin
4) N/A

28
Q

Physiological anticoagulants function:

1) Plasminogen/Plasmin
2) Tissues plasminogen activator (tPA)
3) Antithrombin III
4) Prostacyclin

A

1) Breaksdown fibrin
2) Activates plasminogen
3) Blocks IX,X, XI,XIII, thrombin
4) Inhibits platelet aggregation
