Blood Coagulation Flashcards
Which pathway involves collagen fibers to be exposed to activate Clotting Factor XII?
Intrinsic pathway
Vitamin required to produce gut flora
Vitamin K
Organ that produces clotting factors
Liver
Tissue thromboplastin is released in which pathway?
Tissue thromboplastin is released in EXTRINSIC pathway
Intrinsic and extrinsic pathways both help activate which clotting factor?
Both intrinsic and extrinsic help activate Clotting Factor X/ Stuart-Prower Factor
Activation of Clotting Factor X helps continue the Clotting Cascade… what is the sequence?
CF X… CF 2… thrombin… CF I… fibrin
What ion is a necessary component of coagulation?
Calcium ion
AKA for platelets
Thrombocytes
What injection is given to patients with blood loss to help with blood clotting?
Calcium chloride injections help with blood clotting.
True or False: platelet activation occurs ONLY INSIDE injured blood vessels
True! Platelet activation only occurs INSIDE injured blood vessels
Exposure of ** of subendothelial cells of blood vessels starts the process of platelet activation
Exposure of COLLAGEN FIBERS of subendothelial cells of blood vessels to blood flow initiates the process of platelet activation.
Which factor activates and attaches itself to exposed collagen fibers to stop platelet movement?
VON WILLERBRAND FACTOR activates and attached itself to exposed collagen fibers to stop movement of platelets.
What are the results of clotting cascade and platelet activation?
Clotting Cascade- coagulation (blood clot)
Platelet Activation- platelet plug
What is stasis?
Results from platelet activation (platelet plug) AND coagulation (blood clot)
Where in relation to the blood vessels are blood clots and platelet plugs formed?
Blood clots- IN & OUT side the vessels
Platelet plug- ONLY formed IN side vessels
What do activated platelets release?
- ADP- promotes platelet activation
- Thrombocytes A2- vasoconstriction
- Growth factors- promote wound healing, fibroblast chemotaxis
3 components of the anticoagulation system?
Hemodynamics
Endothelial mediation
Fibrinolytic system
What’s that name of that factor?
Von Willebrand, you know it! 😉
What does endothelial mediation release to prevent to extra/excess platelet aggregation?
Endothelial Mediation releases PROSTACYCLIN (PGI2) to prevent extra/excess platelet aggregation
