Q

Where does thrombogenesis usually occur and what will this lead to?

A

Thrombogenesis occurs in the blood vessels.

Formation of Platelet Plugs
Regulation of Coagulation and Fibrinolysis

Q

When there is a wall defect what two proteins are exposed in the vascular layer?

When these proteins bind to platelets, what receptors will they specifically bind to?

What will happen after the proteins are bound to the platelet?

How are platelets cross-linked?

A

Collagen and von Willebrand Factor

Collagen will bind to GP1a and vWF GP1b of the platelets.

Platelet will become activated and release ADP, TXA2, and 5-HT which will aid in clotting process and activate additional platelets and cause degranulation.

Platelets are cross-linked with Fibrin binding to the GP IIb/IIIa receptors.

Q

How does the Fibrinolytic System work?

A

When the clot forms, the fibrinolytic system will convert inactive plasminogen to plasmin through tPA released from injured cells.

Plasmin will degrade the fibrin clot.
