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
Vasoconstriction
Platelet adhesion and aggregation
Coagulation enzyme activation
Interaction of
Vasoconstriction
Platelet adhesion and aggregation
Coagulation enzyme activation
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
