Haemostasis Nd Platelet Flashcards
Thrombosis is what
Inaccurate coagulation leading to excess bleeding
Blood coagulation has how many phase and what are they
Vascular phase
Platelet phase
Coagulation cascade
Endothelin is a hormone secreted by to do what
Secreted by endothelial cells lining the inner wall of blood vessels
Platelet phase are
3
Adhesion
Activation
Aggregation
What is the adhesion stage of platelet
It is when platelet stick to ruptured blood vessels through glycoproteins
Plasmin is responsible for
The asymmetrical degradation of fibrin
Characteristics of platelet
Non non nucleated
Colorless
Actiavated platelets possesses
Filopodia that is tail
While the inactivated ones has no tail
Cell membrane of platelets contains
1)Glycoproteins: they prevent the stickyness of platelets to normal endothelium but speed up the adhesion to collagen and damaged endothelium
2) phospholipid: this accelerates the clotting reaction
Tubulin does what to platelet
Tubulin helps platelet to maintain its disc shape when inactivated
Platelets count in high altitude
Increases
Properties of platelet
Adhesion
Aggregation
Agglutination
What is the adhesive nature of platelet
When platelet comes in contact with the collagen outside of our blood vessels they become activated and stick
What stimulates the platelet to stick to the ruptured endothelium
Von willebrand factor
Von willebrand factor is secreted by
Ruptured endothelium
Von willebrand disease
A condition of excess bleeding due even in mild injury due to deficiency of Von willebrand factor which causes the adhesion of platelet to damaged blood vessels
Aggregation of platelet is
When the activated platelet develops filopodia and start sticking to one another at a particular site
Aggregation of platelet is activated by
ADP
secreted by glycoproteins in the cell membrane of platelet
Agglutination is
Clumping of platelet
Activators of platelet
Collagen
Von willebrand factor
ADP
Thrombin
Calcium ions
Thromboxane A2
Inhibitors of platelet
Nitric oxide
Prostacyclin
Clotting factor 2,9,10,11 and 12
Platelet are formed at
Bone marrow … colony forming megakaryocytes
Stimulating factor of platelet production is
Thrombopoetin and CSF
Thrombocytopenia is
Reduced platelet count
