clotting factors Flashcards
factor I
fibrinogen-
liver- no K- forms clot
Ia fibrin
factor II
prothrombin-
liver- yes K- when active, it activates 1,5,8, platelets and protein C
IIa- thrombin
factor III
tissue factor (thromboplastin)- vascular well- cofactor of VII- activates platelets, activates clotting cascade
factor IV
calcium-
diet-promotes clotting reactions
factor V
proaccelerin-
liver- no K- cofactor of X, forms a prothrombinase complex ( where intrinsic and extrinsic paths meet)
factor VII
proconvertin-
liver- yes vit K- activates IX and X
factor VIII
antihemophiliac-
liver- no vit K- cofactor of iX
vWF
von willebrand-
endothelial cells-modulates adhesion
factor IX
Christmas-
liver-yes vit K- activates X
factor X
Stuart- Prower-
liver- yes vit K- activates II, forms a prothrombinase complex with V (where intrinsic and extrinsic paths meet)
factor XI
Plasma thromboplastin antecedent-
liver-no vit K- activates IX
factor XII
Hageman-
liver- no vit K- activates XI
factor XIII
fibrin stabilizing- liver- no vit K- crosslinks fibrin
the pneumonic …
“for platelets to clot, plasma proteins aggragate very carefully so people have fibrin”
what factors do not synthesize in liver?
III (tissue factor), IV( calcium), VWF ( von willebrand)
