Chapter 5: Secondary Hemostasis Flashcards
What are the Zymogens (Enzyme Precursors) in the coagulation proteins?
Factors 2,7,9,10,11,12, Prekallikrien, Protein C
What are Zymogens?
Substrates with no biologic activity until converted by enzymes to serine proteases shich arr able to conver other zymogens by hydrolyzing arginine/lysine containing peptide bonds.
How does Zymogens get activated?
The initial reaction is due to :
- Exposed endothelial surfaces of blood vessels
- Hydrolytic cleavage of a specific zymogen peptide bond in the presence platelet phospholipid surface.
* They also need co-factors and they causes biochemical aplification of coagulation process.
Among the coagulation factors, what are non-enzymatic cofactors?
Factors 5,8,3 and HMWK and Protein S
What are the ither Coagulation Proteins and Serine Proteases? And explain their function.
Calcium, Phospholipid, Substrate (FVIII), vWF
What is the role of Kinin System in the coagulation?
- Chrmotaxis and pain sensation
- Mediate inflammatory responses
- Increases vascular permeability, vasodilation and hypotension
- Induce smooth muscle contraction
- Contact activation of intrinsic coagulation patheay
- Complement activation
Where does HWMK can be found?
Endothelial cells, platelets and granulocytes.
What is the function of HMWK?
Increases vascular permeability, dilating small blood vessels, contracting smooth muscles and causing pain.
Also, stimulates the synthesis and secretion of Endothelial Cells, prostacyclin, nitric oxide and tPA.
What is the role of Prekallikrein and HMWK in coagulation?
PreKallikrein and HMWK circulates in the plasma. Prekallikrein is acrivated by HMWK and XIIa to Kallikrein.
Kallikrein accelerates the activation of another XII to XIIa.
What is the role of Kallikrein and XIIa in Fibrinokytic System?
They activate Plasminogen.
Enumate all clotting factors, and their preferred name
I-Fibrinogen II-Prothrimbin III-Tissue Factor IV-Calcium V-Proaccelerin VII-Proconvertin VIII-Antihemophilic factor (AHF) IX-Plasma thromboplastin component X-Stuart-Prower factor XI-Plasma thromboplastin antecedent XII-Hageman factor XIII-Finbrin stabilizing factor Prekallikrein (Fletcher dactor) HMWK (Fitzgerald factor)
What are the coagulation factors that belong to the contact group?
XI,XII,Prekallikrein and HMWK
How does contact group gets activated?
What pathway do they initiate?
What systems can they activate?
They get activated upon contact with negatively charged surface.
They activate the intrinsic pathway.
They also activate fibrinolytic, kinin and complement system.
What coagulation factors is part of prothrombin group?
II, VII,IX,X
Prothrombin group require what co-factor? Why?
Vitamin K. For y-carboxylation of gluctamic acid residues in y-carboxyglutamic acid rich regeiins and alloeing these factors to bind Calcium needed in building calcium bridges with the platelet phispholipid surface.
