19
Q

acute hemorrhage of > 20% of blood volume leads to ____

20
Q

chronic blood loss leads to _____

A

iron deficiency anemia

21
Q

rapid arrest of blood loss at site of injury

A

hemostasis

22
Q

3 major components of hemostasis

A
  1. endothelium
  2. platelets
  3. coagulation cascade
23
Q

antithrombotic properties of the endothelium act as a barrier from the _____; _____ inhibits platelet aggregation

A

extracellular matrix (ECM); prostacyclin (PGI2)

24
Q

_____ allow anti-thrombin III (AT-III) to inactivate ____, ___, and other factors

A

heparin-like molecules; thrombin; Xa

25
____ binds to thrombin and this complex activates ____, an anticoagulent
thrombomodulin; protein C
26
protein C inhibits clotting by cleaving and inactivating two procoagulents, factors ___ and ___ ; protein C needs a cofactor, _____, synthesized by endothelial cells
Va; VIIIa; protein S
27
endothelial cells synthesize _____, a protease that cleaves ____ to ____
tissue plasminogen activator (tPA); plasminogen; plasmin (plasmin in turn cleaves fibrin to degrade thrombi)
28
3 prothrombotic properties of endothelium
1. von Willebrand factor 2. tissue factor 3. inhibitors of plasminogen activity
29
vWF is a cofactor for binding ____ to ____
platelets; collagen
30
tissue factor (major in vivo regulator of _____) is secreted after exposure to _____ (referred to as endothelial activation) and initiates the ______
coagulation; cytokines; extrinsic clotting pathway
31
inhibitors of plasminogen activity limit ____ and thereby favor ____
fibrinolysis (enzymatic breakdown of fibrin in blood clots); thrombosis
32
3 phases to forming the platelet plug
1. adhesion 2. secretion 3. aggregation
33
after vascular injury, platelets encounter _____ and ____
ECM constituents (collagen most important); adhesive glycoproteins (such as vWF)
34
adhesion is mediated by ____ which bridges between collagen and a surface platelet receptor (gp lb)
vWF
35
____ mediates platelet aggregation and ____ is required for the coagulation cascade
ADP; calcium
36
aggregation is stimulated by ____ and ____
ADP; thromboxane A2
37
____ derived from the coagulation cascade binds to a platelet surface receptor leading to more _____ (reversible) and ____ (irreversible)
aggregation; platelet contraction
38
____ binds to the platelet surface receptor GP IIb-IIIa and the platelet plug becomes cemented by ____
fibrinogen; fibrin
39
extrinsic system activated by _____
tissue factor (thromboplastin)
40
intrinsic system activated by _____
factor XII (hageman factor)
41
final products of both systems are ___ and ____
thrombin and fibrin
42
control of excess coagulation is by _____ which inhibit activity of thrombin and other coagulation factors, and ____ which inactivate _____

43
fibrinolysis occurs through activation of ____ from ____ by _____
plasmin; plasminogen; tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
44
plasmin breaks down ____, resulting in _____
fibrin; fibrin split/degradation products
