40
Q

Sequence of responses that stop bleeding

A

Hemostasis

41
Q

The loss of a large amount of blood from the vessels

A

Hemorrhage

42
Q

A hormone that can cause proliferation of vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle fibers, and fibroblasts to help repair damage blood vessel walls

A

Platelet-derived growth factor

43
Q

Blood plasma minus the clotting proteins; straw colored liquid

A

Serum

44
Q

Network of insoluble protein fibers called fiber in which the formed elements of blood are trapped

A

Blood clot

45
Q

Process of gel formation; series of chemical reactions that culminates in formation of fibrin threads

A

Clotting

46
Q

When blood clots too easy, it can result in

A

Thrombosis

47
Q

Consolidation or tightening of the fibrin clot

A

Clot retraction

48
Q

Dissolves small inappropriate clots

A

Fibrinolytic system

49
Q

Damage to smooth muscle, constricting to slow blood flow

A

Vascular spasm

50
Q

When platelets stuck to damaged blood vessels

A

Platelet adhesion (first step of platelet plug formation)

51
Q

Platelets activate, extend projections that enable them to interact to one another; begin to liberate the contents of their vesicles

A

Platelet release reaction (step 2 of platelet plug formation)

52
Q

Release of ADP makes other platelets sticky, causing them to stick where original ones are

A

Platelet aggregation (final step of platelet plug formation)

53
Q

Extrinsic pathway

A

Tissue trauma->Tissue factor->activated clotting factor X-> prothrombin->thrombin->fibrin

54
Q

Intrinsic pathway

A

Exposed collagen -> activates clotting factor XII -> clotting factor X -> prothrombin -> thrombin -> fibrin

Q

Common pathway

A
