Exam 3 Hemostasis & Coags Flashcards
The blood vessel endothelial layer contains?
- vWF
- tissue factor
- prostacyclin
- NO
The blood vessel media layer contains?
Collagen & Fibronectin
Endothelial cells synthesize & secrete (5)?
- Procoaculants
- anticoagulants
- fibrinolytics
- vasodilators
- vasoconstrictors
What is the purpose of vWF?
Help platelets adhere to subendothelial layer
What is the purpose of tissue factor?
Activate the clotting cascade
What mediators control blood flow by vasoconstriction?
- TXA-2
- adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
- Serotonin
What mediators control blood flow by vasodilation?
NO, prostacyclin
What are the 5 procoagulants?
- (C)ollagen
- (C)oagulation factors
- (F)ibronectin
- (T)hrombomodulin
- (v)WF
What is the function of Collagen?
Tensile strength of the plug
What is the function of Fibronectin?
- Mediates cell adhesion/anchoring fibrin
- (Fibronectin is the “Hitch” of fibrins)
What is the function of Thrombomodulin?
Regulates anticoagulation pathway
What is the function of Antithrombin III?
Degrades factors II, IX, X, XI, & XII
(2 & 9-12)
What medication helps to keep fibronectin in place?
TXA
What vessel layer influences blood flow via contraction?
Adventitia
Delineate the Nitric Oxide pathway?
- NOS converted into NO by L-arginine.
- NO diffuses into muscle cell & stimulates SGC to convert GTP into cGMP -> causing relaxation.
Name the 3 prostanoids/eicosanoids?
Prostacyclin,
Leukotriene,
TXA
What are the 2 functions of prostacyclin?
Vasodilation & interferes with platelet formation & aggregation
What are the 4 phases of hemostasis & coagulation?
Vascular phase (vascular spasm).
Primary hemostasis (plug formation).
Secondary hemostasis (coagulation & formation of fibrin).
Fibrinolysis (Clot lysis)
