28
Nitric Oxide Synthesis occurs where and how

NO -> activates soluble guanylate cyclase, subsequently producing a second messenger, cyclic guanosine monophosphate, that causes muscle relaxation

33

Localized in injured area
34

35

Adherence
Activation
Aggregation
36
Where are plat located in the bv
they tend to be pushed aside, strategically positioned near the vessel-wall surface where they can then “react” in the event of injury
37
plat formation , life span' concentration

Maintain a concentration count of approximately 150,000 to 300,000/mm3
1-2 weeks lifespan
38

48

49
Adherence
vWF mobilizes from within the endothelial cells and emerges from the endothelial lining
Glycoprotein Ib (GpIb) receptors emerge from the surface of the platelet
The purpose of GpIb is to attach to vWF and attract platelets to the endothelial lining
vWF makes platelets “sticky” and allows them to adhere to the site of injury
50
Activation
tissue factor ->conformational transformation-> activated
Structure swells and becomes oval and irregular
From the platelet surface, two other major glycoproteins, IIb and IIIa, project themselves outward
The purpose of the GpIIb-IIIa receptor complex is to link other activated platelets together in an effort to form a primary platelet plug
When this action is complete, the platelets seal and heal the site of injury within the blood vessel
51
Aggregation
As platelets undergo this metamorphosis, they release the alpha and dense granules, the contractile granules, thrombin, and many important mediators into the blood in an effort to promote procoagulant activity
These mediators are responsible for platelet aggregation to form a primary unstable clot
When injury is minute and less threatening, this primary plug is enough to maintain hemostasis
When the injury is large, activation of the coagulation clotting cascade is required for permanent repair to create and stabilize a secondary clot to cease bleeding

Factor X activation; Tissue factor activates factor 7; 7 activates 10 in the presence of factor 4 (calcium)
Prothrombin activator and platelet phospholipids activate factor 2 (thrombin); Factor 5 accelerates the positive feedback mechanism (increase production of prothrombin activator)
Clot forms within 12 to 15 seconds

73
Common Pathway
Prothrombin activator changes prothrombin (II) to thrombin (IIa)
Prothrombin changes fibrinogen to fibrin in the presence of calcium
Fibrin is added to the aggregated platelet plug.
Activated fibrin-stabilizing factor (XIIIa) cross-links fibrin-fibers to complete the clot
Clot is formed. Stays in place until vascular tissue is repaired.

what is Factor V Leiden
Factor V is a protein for normal clotting
When enough fibrin has been made, a substance called activated protein C inactivates factor V, helping stop the clot from growing any larger than necessary
Factor V Leiden is an abnormal version of factor V that is resistant to the action of activated protein C
