Blood Coagulation and Wound Healing Flashcards

1
Q

what is the process of blood clotting/ coagulation? (6)

A

injury/rupture to blood vessel
blood vessel around wound constricts (reduces blood flow to the damaged area)
activated platelets stick to the injury site
platelets become sticky and clump together to form a platelet plug
platelets and damaged tissue release clotting factors
blood clotting mechanism to form fibrin which acts like a mesh to stop the bleeding

Q

the initial binding of platelets to vWF is mediated by

A

glycoproteins that are necessary for platelet tethering (ex. loosely bound), but do not promote strong adhesion (ex. GPlb amd la are not enough, even in conditions of high shear)

22
Q

GP2B/3A intern ligands (2)

A

vWF or fibrinogen

23
Q

upon platelet activation (by GPV1), GPV2B/3A undergoes a conformational change that reveals a previously hidden binding site for

A

vWF or fibrinogen

24
Q

activated GP2B/3A binds to vWF at the subendothelial surface to promote

A

strong adhesion to the vessel wall

25
Q

primary aggregation

A

strong adhesion to the vessel wall

26
Q

what does GP2B/3A binding to fibrinogen play a role in?

A

platelet-platelet interactions

27
Q

AGGREGOMETER TRACINGS record the aggregation of platelets in platelet-rich plasma in response to

A

an aggregating agent

28
Q

in these cases, the aggregating agents are (2)

A

collagen and two concentrations of ADP

29
Q

The initial increase in light transmission is due to

A

dilution by the agent, the small downward deflection to a change in platelet shape and the subsequent increase to aggregation

30
Q

With collagen there is a lag before ADP is secreted by the platelets to cause aggregation; when ADP is supplied directly the effect is

A

faster

31
Q

The effect of a low concentration of ADP is reversed as enzymes

A

destroy ADP

32
Q

The extrinsic pathway is activated by

A

external trauma that causes blood to escape from the vascular system

Q

In circulation, plasminogen adopts a —, activation-resistant conformation

A

closed

50

Upon binding to clots, or to the cell surface, plasminogen adopts an open form that can be converted into

A

active plasmin
