Q

examples of cytokines?

A

EPO, TPO, colony stim factors, interleukins, stem cell factor

17
Q

RBC 3 major tasks:

A

1) carry o2 from lungs–>tissues
2) carry CO2 from tissue to lungs
3) buffer

18
Q

___% iron found in heme groups

A

70

19
Q

Two major groups of WBC:

A

granulocytes and non-granule lymphocytes (T and B) and monocytes

20
Q

platelets contain these 2 types of granules:

A

dense core granules (Ca, serotonin, ADP, ATP), alpha granules (von Willebrand, fibrinogen, clotting factor 5)

21
Q

the prevention of hemorrage

A

hemostasis

22
Q

steps of hemostasis:

A

1) vasoconstriction (serotonin)
2) form platelet plug
3) coagulation

23
Q

why don’t platelets attach to healthy endothelial?

A

both have neg charge

24
Q

PAF signals platelets to release a vasoconstrictor called:

A

thrombxane A2

25
Q

intrinsic path of coagulation?

A

factor XII–>factor XIIa–>factor Xa (proteloysis)

26
Q

extrinsic path of coagulation?

A

protease cascade outside vascular sys: tisue factor + factor VIIa+Ca form complex, cleave X –>Xa

27
Q

common path of coagulation?

A

Xa+Ca + factor Va–>prothrombinase–>thrombin–>fibrinogen becomes fibrin that traps blood cells, factor XIII–>XIIIa

28
Q

several diseases where one of factors in coagulation cascade defective/lacking

A

hemophilia

29
Q

factor VIII deficiency

A

Hemophilia a (most common)

30
Q

factor IX deficiency

A

hemo b

31
Q

how to treat hemophilia?

A

synth factors, AAV treatments

32
Q

____ prevent platelet binding; other anticoagulant factors

A

prostacyclin, NO; antithrombin, thrombomodulin, TFPI, Protein S and C

33
Q

breakdown of blood clots

A

fibrinolysis

34
Q

process of fibrinolysis

A

convert plasminogen–>plasmin–>break down fibrin
