Coagulation (final) Flashcards
(126 cards)
Describe Hemostasis
Normal hemostasis is a balance btw clot generation, thrombus formation, andcounter-regulatory mechanisms that inhibit uncontrolled thrombogenesis or premature thrombus degradation
Slide 2
3 Goals of Hemostasis
to limit blood loss from vascular injury
maintain intravascular blood flow
promote revascularization after thrombosis
Slide 2
What are the 2 stages of Hemostasis?
Describe each…
Primary: Immediateplatelet deposition at the endovascular injury site
Leads to the initial platelet plug formation
Only adequate for minor injury
Secondary: clotting factors activated
Stabilized clot formed and secured with crosslinked fibrin
Slide 3
What is the Vascular Endothelial Role?
Vascular endothelial cells have antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and profibrinolytic effects that inhibit clot formation
Slide 5
Describe the anti-clotting mechanisms of endothelial cells
-are negatively charged to repel platelets
-produce platelet inhibitors such as prostacyclin and nitric oxide
-excrete adenosine diphosphatase, which degrades -adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a platelet activator
-increase protein C, an anticoagulant
-produce Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI), inhibiting factor Xa & TF-VIIa complex
-Synthesize tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)
Slide 5
____ play a critical role in hemostasis and are derived from ____
Platelets and megakaryocytes
Slide 6
Nonactivated platelets circulate as ____ with a lifespan of ____
discoid anuclear cells and 8-12 days
Slide 6
normally, ~ ____ of platelets are consumed to ____ with ____ new platelets formed daily
10%
support vascular integrity
1.2-1.5 X10^11
Slide 6
2 important things about the platelet membrane
1) contains numerous receptors
2) has a surface canicular system, which increases membrane surface area
Slide 6
Describe the process of platelets undrgoing hemostasis
Damage to endothelium exposes the underlying extracellular matrix (ECM), which contains collagen, von Willebrands factor, and other platelet-adhesive glycoproteins
Upon exposure to ECM, platelets undergo 3 phases of alteration:
-adhesion
-activation
-aggregation
Slide 7
Describe Adhesion of platelets
Adhesion: occurs upon exposure to ECM proteins
Slide 8
Describe activation of platelets
What are 2 types of storage granules in platelets?
Activation: stimulated when platelet interacts w/collagen & tissue factor (TF), causing the release of granular contents
Plts contain 2 types of storage granules: alpha granules and dense bodies
-Alpha granules: contain fibrinogen, factors V & VIII, vWF, Plt-derived growth factor & more
-Dense bodies: contain ADP, ATP, calcium, serotonin, histamine, epinephrine
Slide 8
Describe aggregation of platelets
Aggregation: occurs when the granular contents are released, which recruit and activate additional platelets, propagating plasma-mediated coagulation. Activated glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors on plt surface bind fibrinogen, promoting fibrin crosslinking
Slide 8
Each stage of the platelet cascade requires what?
Assembly of membrane-bound activation tenase-cmplexes
Each tenase complex is composed of
1) a substrate (inactive precursor)
2) an enzyme (activated coagulation factor)
3) 3) a cofactor (accelerator or catalyst)
4) 4) calcium
Slide 9
Describe the intrensic pathway
Beginning w/XIIa, it was initially thought to occur only in response to endovascular contact with negatively-charged substances (glass, dextran)
Current understanding is the intrinsic pathway plays a more minor role in theinitiation of hemostasis, and is more an amplification system to propagate thrombin generation initiated by the extrinsic pathway
Slide 13
Describe the extrensic pathway
The Extrinsic pathway is the initiation phase of plasma-mediated hemostasis
Begins endothelial injury, exposing TF to the plasma
TF forms an active complex with VIIa (TF/VIIa complex)
TF/VIIa complex binds to and activates factor X, converting it to Xa
TF/VIIa complex also activates IX→ IXa in the intrinsic pathway
IXaand calcium convert factor X to Xa (intrinsic pathway)
Factor Xa begins the final common pathway
Slide 12
Describe the intrinsic pathway hemostasis initiation
Upon contact with a negatively charged surface, factor XII becomes activated
Factor XIIa converts XI to XIa
(IXa + VIIIa +plt-membrane phospholipid + Ca++) converts factor X to Xa
Xa initiates the final common pathway
Slide 14
Describe intrinsic pathway propogation
Activated Thrombin (IIa) activates factors V, VII, VIII and XI to amplify extrinsic thrombin generation
This process activates the platelets, leading to propagation of the FCP(final common pathway)
Slide 14
Describe the common pathway
Factor X becomes Xa and binds with Va to form “prothrombinase complex”
Prothrombinase complex rapidly converts prothrombin (II) into thrombin (IIa)
Thrombin attaches to the platelets and converts fibrinogen (I) to fibrin (Ia)
Fibrin molecules crosslink to form a mesh that stabilizes the clot
Thrombin cleaves fibrinopeptides A & B from fibrinogen to generate fibrin monomers, which polymerize into fibrin strands to form basic clot
Finally, factor XIIIa crosslinks the fibrin strands to stabilize and make an insoluble clot, resistant to fibrinolytic degradation
slide 15 and 16
Vascular injury exposes ____, initiating ____ pathway. ____ pathway further amplifies thrombin and fibrin generation. Platelets adhere to ____, become activated and ____ additional platelets
TF
extrensic
intrinsic
collagen
recruit
Slide 16
What is the key step to regulating hemostasis?
Thrombin generation
Slide 15
What does the common pathway depict?
Thrombin generation and firbin formation
*both intrinsic and extrinsic tenase-complexes facilitate the formation of the prothrominase complexes
Slide 17
What is the function of prothrombinase complex?
Converts PT (II) into thrombin (IIa)
