A

the attachment of platelets to the subendothelial collagen. Reversible; seals endothelial gaps, some secretion of growth factors. In arterioles VWF (von Willebrand factor) is necessary for adhesion.

32
Q

Describe Aggregation

A

Platelets adhere to each other. Irreversible; platelet plug forms, platelet contents are secreted, requires fibrinogen.

33
Q

Describe Secreation

A

platelets discharge to contents of their granules. Irreversible; occurs during aggregation, platelets contents are secreted, essential to coagulation.

34
Q

Define Primary Hemostasis

A

the role of blood vessels and platelets in the initial formation of a primary hemostatic plug in response to vascular injury. Limits bleeding immediately. Initiates the clotting cascade and maintains vascular integrity

nosebleeds

39
Q

A

broken cappillaries

40
Q

What factors are needed for platelat adhesion?

A

VWF, collagen, GPIB

41
Q

Define dense bodies

A

granules containing ADP in platelets, occurs after platelet is activated

42
Q

Platelets secrete granules containing ADP for

A

energy, attraction of other platelets

43
Q

What is required to make the primary hemostatic plug?

A

ATP (for energy), Ca2+, GPIIB and GPIIIa, Fibrinogen (factorI)- this activates a GPIIb/GPIIIa complex

44
Q

What starts the coagulation cascade?

A

The release of platelet factor 4 (PF4)

45
Q

Define secondary hemostasis

A

second phase of coagulation involving the activation of plasma coagulation proteins to produce a fibrin clot. This is the coagulation cascade. The polymerization of multiple fibrin strands into a single clot.

46
Q

Which pathway does platelet factor 3 (PF3) trigger?

A

Both the INTRINSIC and EXTRINSIC pathways

47
Q

Symtpoms of Secondary Hemostasis

A

Factor deficiencies, coumadin toxicity, heparin therapy, DIC, haemophilia)

48
Q

What is the intrinsic pathway?

A

sequence of serine protease reactions leading to fibrin formation, beginning with the in vitro activation of factor XII, followed by the sequencial activation of factors XI and IX, and resulting in the activation of factor X, which initiates the common pathway of coagulation. Triggered by internal injuries such as bruising.

49
Q

What is the extrinsic pathway?

A

primary in vivo coagulation pathway. Exposure of tissue factor activates factor VII. Factor VIIa activates factor IX and X, which triggers the common pathway of coagulation and the formation of fibrin. Triggered by injuries from the outside (surgery, trauma, ect)

50
Q

What is the common pathway?

A

the steps in the coagulation cascade from the activation of factor X through the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. The common pathway begins at the junction of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways and involves factor X, V, II (prothrombin), and fibrinogen in order of reaction.

51
Q

Heparin limits which pathway?

A

INTRINSIC

52
Q

Coumadin limits which pathway?

A

EXTRINSIC

55
Q

How long does a fibrin clot typically last?

A

57
Q

In fibrinolysis, what converts plasminogen to plasmin?

68
Q

Define splenomegaly

A

enlargement of the spleen

69
Q

75
Q

In coagulation, one of the main cofactors is…

76
Q

Define protrombin time (PT)

A

measures the extrinsic pathway. Thromboplastin and calcium are added to plasma and the clotting time is recorded. Widely used to measure Coumadin therapy.
more sensitive to the loss of factor VII than to factor II
inhibited by Coumadin which inhibits vitamin K uptake in liver cells

77
Q

Define partial prothrombin time (PTT)

A

“measures the intrinsic pathway. Calcium chloride, phospholipid, and activator are added to patient plasma. The interval from the addition of reagent to clot formation is recorded. The test is used to monitor unfractionated heparin therapy, to screen for intrinsic pathway deficiencies, and to screen for lupus anticoagulation.
most sensitive to intrinsic pathway deficiencies occuring in the cascade prior to factor II
inhibited by heparin
when T is prolonged by Coumadin, the PTT is also slightly prolonged.
