COMPONENTS OF HEMOSTASIS TERMS Flashcards
both prothrombotic and antithrombotic
Endothelial Cells
vasodilates and inhibits platelet aggregation
Nitric oxide
inhibits platelet aggregation
Prostacyclin I2
degrades ADP and inhibits platelet aggregation
Produce Adenosine Diphosphate
indirectly binds to thrombin, converting it to an anticoagulant capable of activating protein C
Thrombomodulin
requires protein S
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI)
endothelial cells produce mediators that insulates platelets and coagulation proteins from thrombogenic subendothelial ECM
Antiplatelet effects
Shields coagulation factors from tissue factor in the vessel wall and produces membrane-associated heparin-like molecules
Anticoagulant effect
cell fragments derived from megakaryocytes
Platelets
include Fibrinogen, Fibronectin, factors V & VII, PF4, PDGF, TGF-β, vWF
α granules
include ADP/ATP, ionized Ca, histamine/serotonin, epinephrine
Electron-dense bodies
attachment to sites of endothelial injury
Adhesion
adhesions lead to irreversible shape change and the release of granules
Activation
platelet to platelet adherence
aggregation
coverts soluble proenzymes into activated enzymes culminating
in the production of thrombin, which converts soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin
coagulation cascade
