16
Q

thrombocytosis

A

greater than 1 m platelets

17
Q

vascular phase

A

muscles constrict to decrease blood flow (vasoconstriction, vascular spasm

ADP, TF, PDGF

18
Q

ADP

A

adhesion and aggregation

19
Q

TF

A

forms fibrin

20
Q

PDGF

A

cell proliferation and ECM production (regeneration of damaged tissue)

21
Q

Platelet phase

A

primary hemostasis; adhesion, activation, aggregation, plug formation

  • platelets adhere to site of injury, aggregate, and activate
  • aggregated platelets form platelet plug
  • activated platelets release ADP, vWF, PF3, PGDF, thomboxane A2
22
Q

vWF

A

induces plug formation, attaches to collagen and platelets –> cross links

23
Q

coagulation phase

A

secondary hemostasis; fibrin creates clot in
extrinsic pathway
intrinsic pathway

24
Q

extrinsic pathway

A

initiator pathway; TF pathway

25
Q

intrinsic pathway

A

amplifier pathway; contact activation pathway

26
Q

intrinsic pathway pathway

A

prekallikrien and XII work with HMWK to convert into kallikrien and XIIa –> converges on X

27
Q

extrinsic pathway pathway

A

tissue damage releases TF (III) which converges on X

28
Q

common pathway

A

X converts to Xa which converts prothrombin (II) to thrombin (IIa); IIa converts fibrinogen (I) to fibrin (Ia) which cross links and creates clot
