BLOOD 5 Flashcards
What are platelets needed for?
What does thrombopoietin do?
Platelet half-life
Blood clotting
Increases platelet numbers
10 days
Three phases of hemostasis
1) Vascular phase
2) Platelet phase
3) Coagulation phase
Vascular phase
Vasoconstriction prolonged by?
Neurogenic and myogenic control
Serotonin, Endothelin-1, Thromoboxane A2
Platelet phase
1) Exposed collagen: binds and activated platelets
2) Factors released from platelet
3) Factors attract more platelets
4) Platelets aggregate from plug
Platelet Phase?
Where the von Willebrand factor made?
What does it bind to?
What effect does it have?
Endothelial cells and platelets
Binds to both collagen and platelets
Causes aggregation of platelets
Factors that cause platelet aggregation
ADP
paf
Serotonin
Thromboxane a2
What does platelet aggregation lead to
Vasoconstriction
Platelet activation
Helps adhesion
What the role of Prostacyclin (prostagladin I2, PG12 and nitiric oxide (NO).
Prevent platelet adhesion and are vasodilators
What is prostacyclin
anti-coagulant
Arachidonic acid leads to PGH2 synthesis: produces three chemicals?
1) Prostaglandins
2) Thromboxane A2
3) Prostacyclin
Cyclooxygenase?
Aspirin?
Causes synthesis
Inhibits thromboxane A2
Coagulation cascade common pathway:
1) Factor X
2) Prothrombin
3) Fibrinogen
4) Factor XIII
1) Active X
2) Thrombin
3) Fibrin
4) Active XIII
What is the final product of the coagulation cascade?
