Q

Briefly explain how NO enables vasodilation.

A
  • Nitro Oxide Synthase converts L-arginine to NO in the endothelium
  • NO diffuses into VSM and activates soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)

  • Calcium → Plays a role in the coagulation cascade
  • Fibrin-stabilizing factor → Cross links fibrin
  • Growth factor → Repairs damaged vessel walls
  • Serotonin → Activates nearby PLT
  • Thrombosthenin → PLT contraction
37
Q

A
  • vWF released from endothelial cells onto the endothelial lining
  • GPIb receptors emerge from platelet surface
  • GPIb binds to vWF and this process attracts other platelets
38
Q

What change does the presence of TF cause to the platelet?

A
  • Platelet has conformational change and is activated
  • GPIIb-IIIa projects outward from platelets and links them to each other → purpose is to create a platelet plug
  • Seal it and heal it…
39
Q

During aggregation, which mediators are released from the platelets (when activated)?

A
  • alpha and dense granules
  • contractile granules
  • thrombin

This is to promote procoagulant activity

40
Q

A
  • Promote procoagulant activity
  • Form a primary unstable clot
41
Q

What is the difference between a primary clot and a secondary clot?

A
  • Small injury → primary clot (or plug) is enough to provide hemostasis to minute injuries.
  • Large injury → clotting cascade must be activated to create/stabilize secondary clot for hemostasis
42
Q

During secondary hemostasis fibrin production requires which clotting factors in order to proceed?

A
  • all of them
43
Q

62
Q

Explain how the Extrinsic pathway works up to the common path.

A

For37cents you can purchase theextrinsicpathway
* TF (Factor 3) released from subendothelium during injury → activates the extrinsic pathway
* TF (Factor 3) activates factor 7
* Factor 7 activates factor X in the presence of factor 4 (Ca++)
* Prothrombin activator and platelet phospholipids activate factor 2 (thrombin) → this leads to common path
* Note: Factor 5 ↑ the production of prothromin activator (+ feedback)

63
Q

If the patient is low on Ca++ how will this effect the extrinisic path of the clotting cascade?

A
  • It won’t work as well
64
Q

How long does it take a clot to form via the extrinsic path?

A
  • 12 to 15 sec
65
Q

Explain how the Intrinsic pathway works up to the common path.

A

If you can’t buy theintrinsicpathway for $12 you can buy it for $11.98.
* Blood trauma or exposure to Collagen → activates factor XII
* Factor XIIa activates factor XI → this step needs HMW kininogen and accelerated by prekalllikrein
* Factor XIa activates factor IX
* Factor IXa and VIII activate factor X
* Prothromin activator and phospholipids activate factor IIa (thrombin) → leads to common path

66
Q

Which pathologies will prevent factor X from being activated in the intrinsic path?

A
  • Hemophilia A → Factor VIII missing
  • Thrombocytopenia → Platelets (phospholipids) missing
67
Q

How long does it take to creat a clot via the intrinsic path?

A
  • 6 minutes
68
Q

Explain how the Common pathway works.

A

The final common pathway can be purchased at the five(V) and dime(X) for 1(I) or 2(II) dollars on the 13th (XIII) of the month
* Prothrombin activator changes prothrombin (II) to thrombin (lla)
* Thrombin changes fibrinogen to fibrin in the presence of Ca++
* Fibrin is added to platelet plug
* Activated fibrin-stabilizing factor (XIlla) cross-links fibrin-fibers to complete the clot

69
Q

A
  • Fibrinolysis
70
Q

What is fibrinolysis?

A
  • Prevents clotting from going out of control (+ feedback loop)
  • Prevents excessive deposition of fibrin
71
Q

A
  • Kallikrein
  • Neutrophil elastase
74
Q

Explain how fibrinolysis works?

A
  • Plasminogen is converted to Plasmin via tPA and UPA
