Hema-Lec-Hemostasis Flashcards
Complex physiologic process
Hemostasis
Simple physiologic process of hemostasis
Injury—>produces a clot to stop the bleeding—> Confines the clot to the site of injury—>Finally dissolves the clot as the wound heals
absence of a single
plasma procoagulant
Anatomic hemorrhage
Absence of a control protein leads to (5)
thrombosis,
stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis and cardiovascular events
Continues bleeding
Hemorrhage
Too much clotting
Thrombosis
Major systems of hemostasis
Blood vessels
Platelets
Plasma protein
Major systems of hemostasis purpose
To prevent, predict, diagnose and manage hemostatic disease
For clot formation
Platelets
Helps to avoid excess clot formation
Plasma protein
Hemostasis interaction of

Interaction of

Purpose
=To stop bleeding
Vasoconstriction is triggered by?
Serotonin
Key cellular elements
Cells of the vascular intima
Extravascular tissue factor (TF) – bearing cells
Platelets
***plasma components are the coagulation and
fibrinolytic proteins and their inhibitors
***plasma components are the?
coagulation and
fibrinolytic proteins and their inhibitors
Blood vessels and platelets response
Primary hemostasis
involves the interaction of vasoconstriction, plate- let adhesion and aggregation, and coagulation enzyme activa- tion to stop bleeding
Hemostasis
The key cellular elements of hemostasis are the?
cells of the vascular intima
extravascular tissue factor (TF)–bearing cells
platelets
refers to the role of blood vessels and platelets in response to a vascular injury, or to the commonplace desquamation of dying or damaged endothelial cells.
Primary hemostasis
Blood vessels contract to seal the wound or reduce the blood flow is called?
vasoconstriction
platelet plug is produced when?
Platelets become activated, adhere to the site of injury, secrete the contents of their gran- ules, and aggregate with other platelets to form a platelet plug.
_____ and _____ comprise the initial, rapid, short-lived response to vessel damage, but to control major bleeding in the long term, the plug must be reinforced by fibrin.
Vasoconstriction and platelet plug formation
Vasoconstriction and platelet plug formation comprise the initial, rapid, short-lived response to vessel damage, but to control major bleeding in the long term, the plug must be reinforced by?
Fibrin
Defects in primary hemostasis that can cause debilitating, sometimes fatal, chronic hemorrhage. (4)
collagen abnormalities, thrombocytopenia, qualitative platelet disorders, or von Willebrand disease
describes the activation of a series of coagulation proteins in the plasma, mostly serine proteases, to form a fibrin clot.
Secondary hemostasis
an enzyme that converts fibrinogen to a localized fibrin clot
thrombin
The final event of hemostasis is?
fibrinolysis, the gradual digestion and removal of the fibrin clot as healing occurs.
Activated by desquamation and small injuries to blood vessels
Primary hemostasis
Involves vascular intima and platelets
Primary hemostasis
Rapid, short-lived response
Primary hemostasis
Procoagulant substances exposed or released by damaged or activated endothelial cells
Primary hemostasis
Activated by large injuries to blood vessels and surrounding tissues
Involves platelets and coagulation system
Delayed, long-term response
The activator, tissue factor, is exposed on cell membranes
Secondary hemostasis
_____ provides the interface between circulating blood and the body tissues.
vascular intima
The innermost lining of blood vessels is a monolayer of metabolically ________
active endothelial cells
ECs play essential roles in?
immune response, vascular permeability, proliferation, and, of course, hemostasis.
______ form a smooth, unbroken surface that eases the fluid passage of blood.
Endothelial cells
An ____________ (basement membrane) and its surrounding layer of connec- tive tissues support the ECs.
elastin-rich internal elastic lamina
In all blood vessels, ________ occupy the connective tissue layer and produce collagen.
fibroblasts
Smooth muscle cells in ______ and _______, but not in the walls of veins, venules, or capillaries, contract during primary hemostasis.
arteries and arterioles
Normally, the intact _________ prevents thrombosis by inhibiting platelet aggregation, preventing coagulation acti- vation and propagation, and enhancing fibrinolysis
vascular endothelium
Innermost Vascular Lining
Endothelial cells (endothelium)
Supporting the Endothelial Cells
Internal elastic lamina composed of elastin and collagen
Subendothelial Connective Tissue
Collagen and fibroblasts in veins
Collagen, fibroblasts, and smooth muscle cells in arteries
a platelet inhibi- tor and a vasodilator, is synthesized through the eicosanoid pathway and prevents unnecessary or undesir- able platelet activation in intact vessels
Prostacyclin
is synthesized in ECs, vascular smooth muscle cells, neutro- phils, and macrophages.
induces smooth muscle relaxation and subsequent vasodilation, inhibits platelet ac- tivation, and promotes angiogenesis and healthy arteri- oles
Nitric oxide
An important EC-produced anticoagulant is ________, which controls activation of the tissue factor pathway, also called the extrinsic coagula- tion pathway.
tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)
ECs synthesize and express on their surfaces
inhibitors of thrombin formation, _______, facilitated by _________, and _______
thrombomodulin; endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR); heparan sulfate
______ binds protein C, and ______ catalyzes the activation of the protein C pathway
EPCR; thrombomodulin
downregulates coagulation by digesting activated factors V and VIII, thereby
inhibiting thrombin formation
protein C pathway
protein C pathway downregulates coagulation by digesting activated factors ____ and ____, thereby
inhibiting thrombin formation
V and VIII
is a glycosaminoglycan that
enhances the activity of antithrombin, a serine
protease inhibitor.
Heparan sulfate
a serine protease inhibitor.
Antothrombin
