Graham Hemostasis 2012 / Exam 2 Flashcards
Hemostasis
The property of circulation whereby blood is maintained as a fluid within the vessels
Four systems of hemostasis ?
- Vascular
- Platelets–Primary Hemostasis
- Coagulation–Secondary Hemostasis
- Fibrinolysis
What metabolite induces Vasoconstriction ?
Serotonin and thromboxane A2
What metabolite induces Vasodilation ?
Prostacyclin PG I2
Name the 7 step of the Hemostatic Plug cascade ?
- ) Vascular Injury
- ) Tissue Exposure
- ) Adhesion
- ) Aggregation
- ) Plug Formation
- ) Fibrin Formation
- ) Clot Retraction
Name the 5 step of the Platelet Function cascade ?
- ) Circulating platelets; endothelial damage occurs.
- ) Platelet Adhesion
- ) Platelet Aggregation
- ) Plug Formation
- ) Fibrin Formation
- ) Clot retraction
Platelets may become activated by any of several physiologic or pathologic acivators released or exposed a the site of injury. Name 8 of theses activators ?
- Collagen
- Thrombin
- Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)
- TXA2
- Epinephrine
- Serotonin
- Arginine Vasopressin (AVP or ADH)
- Platelet Activating Factor ( PAF)
Platelet activators are counterbalanced by the presence of several inhibitors of activation which include what ?
- Flowing Blood
- Endothelial products
- Prostacyclin (PgI2) &
- Nitric Oxide
Injury (or disease) of the vessel endothelium exposes a number of adhesive subendothelial proteins which promotes formation of a platelet plug which adheres to the exposed sub-endothelium. Name the 2 main components ?
- Glycoprotein (GP Ib)
* Von Willebrand factor
During Aggregation, platelets adhere to each other to form a plug. Adherent platelets release dense bodies and alpha granules, name the 3 main components ?
- GP IIB
- GP IIIa
- Fibrinogen
Recite the sequence of the Prostaglandin pathway?
Membrane Phospholipid ↓ Arachidonic Acid ↓ Prostaglandin Endoperoxides ↓ ↓ PG12 Thromboxane A2
Membrane Phospholipid is the substrate for what ?
Phospholipase A
Arachidonic Acid is the substrate for what ?
Cyclooxygenase
Prostaglandin Endoperoxides are the substrates for what ?
Prostacyclin Synthetase
&
Thromboxane Synthetase
What INHIBITS platelet aggregation ?
PG 12
What INDUCES platelet aggregation ?
Thromboxane A2
2 Primary Hemostatic Disorders?
- Inherited = in the young
* Acquired = Most problematic
