What are the steps from tissue injury to the common pathway for the extrinsic pathway?

A

Tissue Injury

Factor III (Tissue Factor) released

Q

What is the role of thrombin in the polymerization of fibrin?

A

It activates Factor XIII, which crosslinks fibrin polymers to form “stable fibrin.”

Q

Where is thrombopoietin produced?

What does it do?

A

1) It is produced by the liver and to a lesser extent, the kidney.
2) Controlls platelet production

Q

What are the four steps of hemostasis?

A

Vascular spasm

Platelet plug

Blood clot

Repair

17
Q

In what step in hemostasis is there an activaiton of fibrin by thrombin and the fibrin squeezes together with the help of calcium for clot retraction?

What step does vascular smooth msucle contract on its own and serotonin and thromboxane a2 released from platelets?

What step does von Willebrand factor released from damaged cells to help initiate platelet collagen binding?

What step do platelts secrete platelet derived growth factor to stimulate fibroblast growth/differentiation into smooth muscle?

A

1) Step 3: Blood Coagulation
2) Step 1: Vascular spasm
3) Step 2: Platelet plug formation
4) Step 4: Damage Repair

18
Q

What three chemicals act as short term vasoconstrictors to assist with the vascular spasm phase of hemostasis?

A

Thromboxane A2

Platelet factor

Serotonin

19
Q

What are the two steps for the formation of a platelet plug?

A
  • Collagen is exposed -

Step 1: Von Willebrand factor binds

Step 2: Platelet’s collagin receptor binds and is activated

20
Q

What does thrombin do to help form a clot?

What does it do to get rid of a clot?

A

1) To form the clot: fibrinogen → fibrin
2) To get rid of the clot,

Protein C → Activated protein C

21
Q

What is the function of protein C in clot removal?

What does this allow?

A

1) It inactivates the tPA inhibitor
2) Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to activate plasminogen into plasmin.

22
Q

What is the main mechanism of anticoagulants such as warfarin?

A

Inhibition of vitamin K action

23
Q

If a clot produces a small drop of clear fluid that has risen to the surface of the clot, what is the cause?

A

Actin/myosin cross linking (step 3 of hemostasis)

24
Q

Wita full coagluation panel, if aPTT is elevated at 45 seconds, PT is normal at 12 seconds, and platelet levels are normal, what is likely deficient in this patient?

A

Factor IX - intricisic pathway

25
Q

A patient with Factor V mutation will have what lab results?

Why?

A

Prolonged aPTT, PT, normal platelet count

Factor V is part of common pathway

26
Q

What is occuring in your body when a cut has healed and the scab is starting to fall off?

A

T-PA is converting plasminogen to plasmin

27
Q

Excessive use of alcohol has what affect on platelet count?

A

Decreases because TPO is produced in liver

28
Q

Platelets are derived from?

A

Megakaryocytes

29
Q

What blocks formation of platelet plug?

How?

A

1) Aspirin
2) Reduces release of thromboxane A2 (COX inhibitor)

30
Q

What is made by injured endothelial cells and limits platelet aggregation?

What is an anticoagulant when bound to thrombin?

A

1) PG12
2) Antithrombin III

31
Q

If a patient with recurrent DVT was placed on Warfarin what may be the cause of their condition?

A

Protein C deficiency
