Chapter 1 Flashcards
- purplish red, pinpoint hemorrhagic spots in the skin caused by loss of capillary ability to withstand normal blood pressure and trauma.
Petechiae
- produced by hemorrhage of blood into small areas of skin, mucous membranes, and other tissues.
Purpura
First appears red-purple the turns brownish yellow
Purpura
- a form of purpura in which blood escapes into large areas of skin or mucous membranes, but not into deep tissue.
Ecchymosis
Appears Black/blue then turns greenish brown to yellow
Ecchymosis
- nosebleed
Epistaxis
- leakage of blood into a joint cavity
Hemarthrosis
- vomiting of blood
Hematemesis
- expectoration of blood secondary to hemorrhage in the larynx, trachea, bronchi or lungs
Hemoptysis
- a swelling or tumor in the tissues or a body cavity that contains clotted blood
Hematoma
- in vivo blood clot causing vascular occlusion and tissue ischemia
Thrombus
- formation, presence of a clot in a blood vessel
Thrombosis
- presence of intact red cells in the urine
Hematuria
- presence of hemoglobin in the urine
Hemoglobinuria
- passage of dark tarry stool containing decomposing blood.
Melena
- excessive menstrual bleeding
Menorrhagia
- passage of blood in feces
Hematochezia
Hemostasis- a complex mechanism that
1. retains the blood within the[?] during periods of injury
2. localizes the reaction involved to the [?] of injury
3. repairs and re-establishes [?] through the injured vessels
vascular system
site
blood flow
Three Hemostatic Components:
Extravascular components
Vascular components
Intravascular components
Play a part in hemostasis by providing back pressure on the injured vessel through swelling and entrapment of escaped blood
Extravascular components
Extravascular components Depends on the
• [?] of surrounding tissue
• [?] of tissue
• [?] of the surrounding tissue
bulk or amount
type
tone
Vascular components Depends on:
Size of the [?]
Amount of [?] within their wall
Integrity of the [?]
blood vessels
smooth muscle
endothelial cell lining
Platelets and biochemicals in the plasma
Intravascular components
STAGES OF HEMOSTASIS
Primary Hemostasis
Secondary Hemostasis
(compare the walls of the arteries from that of the veins and capillaries)
Primary Hemostasis Involves
- Vasoconstriction
- Platelet adhesion, release reaction & aggregation
• Activated by desquamation and small injuries to blood vessels
Primary Hemostasis
Procoagulant substances are exposed or released by damaged or activated endothelial cells
Primary Hemostasis
• Involves vascular intima and platelets
Primary Hemostasis
- Rapid, short-lived response
Primary Hemostasis
- Ends with platelet plug formation
Primary Hemostasis
Do platelets have role in secondary hemostasis?
Involves activation of a series of plasma proteins in the coagulation system until fibrin clot formation
Secondary Hemostasis
Activated by large injuries to blood vessels and surrounding tissues
Secondary Hemostasis
→ Tissue factor exposed on cell membranes
Secondary Hemostasis
Involves platelets and coagulation system
Secondary Hemostasis
Delayed, long-term response
Secondary Hemostasis
Naturally occurring inhibitors in blood will block activated coagulation factors so that widespread coagulation does not occur
Secondary Hemostasis
Fibrinolysis
Secondary Hemostasis
Slow breakdown & removal of fibrin clot as healing of the injured vessel occurs
Fibrinolysis
Inhibits platelet activation
Prostacyclin (PGI2)
Stimulates vasodilation
Prostacyclin (PGI2)
Anticoagulant
Prostacyclin (PGI2)
Heparan sulfate
Thrombomodulin (Endothelial protein C receptor)
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)
Fibronolytic
Thrombomodulin (Endothelial protein C receptor)
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
