Hematology Week 1: Hemostasis Flashcards
Hemostasis Definition
The stopping of a flow of blood
3 things that can kill the patient in seconds that are hemostatic disorders
Massive Stroke
Massive MI
Massive pulmonary embolism
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
The importance of balance in hemostasis
Vasoconstriction
Primary hemostasis
Platelet adhesion to injury sites
Secondary Hemostasis
formation of a fibrin clot
Fibrinolysis
enzymatic breakdown of fibrin clot
The stages of hemostasis
4 listed
- Vasoconstriction
- Primary hemostasis
- secondary hemostasis
- Fibrinolysis
Platelets
made in?
Platelets
Lifespan?
Platelets
The amount in circulation?
Platelets
where are they?
Functions of Platelets
4 Listed
- Stick to damaged epithelium
- Store ADP, Ca2+, proteins for coagulation
- Stack aggregate
- Surface phospholipids for coagulation reactions
Anatomy of a platelet
Membrane Receptors
3 listed
- glycoprotein 1b
- Glycoprotein 2b-3a
- Platelet agonist receptors
Anatomy of a platelet
Granules
- Alpha Granules
- Dense Granules
Glycoprotein 1b
Surface receptor on platelets that binds Von Willebrand Factor (vWF)
Glycoprotein 2b-3a
Surface receptors on platelet that bind fibrinogen
Glycoprotein 6
Surface receptor on platelet that binds collagen
Thromboxane A2
Surface receptor on platelet that binds
ADP Receptor on platelets
Platelet Alpha Granules Proteins
3 listed
Von Willebrand Factor
Fibrinogen
Factors 5, 8, 13
Platelet Dense Granule chemicals
3 listed
- ADP/ATP
- Calcium
- Serotonin
How are platelet granules released?
released upon platelet activation aiding hemostasis
Platelet adhesion and aggregation inhibition
endothelium secretes
NO
PGI2
ADPase
to inhibit platelet adhesion and aggregation
Endothelium secretes what to inhibit platelet activation
3 listed
NO
PGI2
ADPase
Platelet receptor that binds to von Willebrand Factor
Glycoprotein 1b
Platelet receptor that binds to collagen
Glycoprotein VI
Platelet receptor that binds fibrinogen and vWF
Glycoprotein IIb-IIIa
mainly binds Fibrinogen but binds some to vWF
Coagulation cascade
a series on enzymatic reactions that amplifies until there is a thrombin burst that overcomes the natural anticoagulants present and polymerizes fibrinogen into an insoluble fibrin clot sealing injured vessels
The receptor that allows platelets to:
initial attachment and activation
GPIb
The receptor that allows platelets to:
Activation and spreading
GPVI
The receptor that allows platelets to:
Aggregation
GPIIb-IIIa
Formation of a fibrin clot steps
Platelet surface
fibrinogen interacts with thrombin to form a fibrin clot
