Haemostasis Flashcards
what does the endothelium of blood vessels produce?
heparins TFPI - Tissue factor pathway inhibitor thrombomodulin NO Prostacyclin
what forms a clot?
platelets
vWF
Coagulation factors
what makes sure that a clot remains confined to the site of injury?
natural anticoagulants
what signals cause the resting platelets and coagulation factors to become activated?
abnormal surface
physiological activator
first stage in vessel damage (use diagram)
Platelet adhesion to subendothelial collagen
von willebrand factor sticks to collagen and platelets
what does the subendothelial collagen produce?
physiological activator
what cell surface receptors are found of platelets?
ADP receptor
Epinephrine receptor
thrombin receptor
what platelet glycoproteins are found on the surface?
VI
Ia/IIa/
Ib/V/IX
IIb/IIIa
on platelets what does IIb/IIIa bind to?
fibrinogen
on platelets what does Ib bind to?
vWF
on platelets what does Ia/IIa bind to?
collagen

aggregation
provide phospholipid surface for coagulation
