Blood Coagulation Cascade and Reg Factors Flashcards
Define hemostasis
Prevent blood loss
- Damage? Stop bleeding
- Normal conditions? Maintain fluidity
Define thrombosis
Form a clot or thrombus inside an intact blood vessel
Hemostasis and thrombosis involved what components?
Vascular endothelium
Platelets
Coag system
Fibrinolytic system
Coagulation cascade has what pathways involved?
Extrinsic
Intrinsic
Common
Vitamin K depedent factors are?
2, 7, 9 and 10
Contact activated factors are?
12, prekallikrien, high molecular weight kininogen
Thrombin sensitive factor
1, 5, 8, 11, 13
Hematostasis events
Localized vascular spasms
Primary hemostasis (loose plug)
Secondary hemostasis
Clot dissolution
Localized Vasoconstriction
Mediated by reflex neurogenic mechanisms –> increase Ca within SMC
Primary Hemostasis
Platelet adhesion
Platelet activation
Platelet aggregation
Form primary platelet plug
Platelet Adhesion
via von Willebrand Factor binds to GPIb (bridge between platelet and collagen)
Platelet Activation
release TxA2 which leads to platelet aggregation and activating vasoconstrictors
Platelet Aggregation
TxA2, PAF, ADP call other platelets to aggregate via fibrinogen
Secondary Hemostasis
Extrinsic Pathway (rapid response via initial coag) Inhibited by TFPI but the thrombin activates the intrinsic pathway
Intrinsic pathway does what?
Activates Thrombin-sensitive factors 5, 8 and 11 which boost thrombin production
- Promotes platelet activation
- Converts fibrinogen into fibrin
- Activated Factor 8
What does Thrombin do?
Promotes platelet activation and aggregation via proteases activated receptors
Catalyze fibrinogen to fibrin
Activates factor 8 which stabilizes platelet aggregation
OVERALL Secondary hemostatis is to do what?
Stabilize the initial soft clot
Takes longer than primary
