haemostasis, hemorrage and shock Flashcards
what effect does a decrease in blood vol have on BP and delivery of nutrients to cells?
decreased BP and delivery
what causes shock?
lack of blood flow to tissues
what are the effects of shock?
decreased BP and delivery of nutrient to cells
what are the 4 physiological responses to blood loss?
immediate - stop bleeding
short term - restore BP
medium term - restore fluid vol
long term - replace blood constituents
the immediate response to shock is to stop blood flow, what is this called?
hemostasis
what responses are involved in hemostasis?
- vascular response
- platelet response
- plasma response (coagulation)
what role does smooth muscle play in the vascular response go hemostasis?
vascular spasms - vasoconstriction
what role does endothelium play in the vascular response go hemostasis?
- platelet adhesion and aggregation
- anticlotting and fibrinolysis
describe the platelet response in Hemostasis
- damage to BV causes turbulent blood flow, platelets come into contact with collagen vessel wall
- platelets clump together (aggregation) forming platelet plug
during hemostatic coagulation, plasma proteins and tissue components combine to convert what into what?
fibrinogen into fibrin
which fibrous molecule forms a blood clot?
fibrin
where are the majority of clotting factors made?
liver
synthesis of several clotting factors requires which vitamin?
vit k
describe the enzyme cascade that results in the production of insoluble fibrin
- prothrombin is converted to thrombin in the presence of factor Xa, Ca, factor V and phospholipid
- prothrombin converts fibrinogen to soluble fibrin
- soluble fibrin is converted to insoluble fibrin by factor XIIIa
what is bloodclotting factor I?
fibrinogen
what is bloodclotting factor II?
prothrombin
what is bloodclotting factor III?
tissue factor (thromboplastin)
what is bloodclotting factor IV?
calcium
