Hemodynamic Disorders (4) - Hemostasis, section 2 Flashcards
Hemostasis
Formation of a blood clot to stop blood flow
What are the 4 steps to Hemostasis
- Arterial Vasoconstriction
- Primary Hemostasis - platelet plug
- Secondary Hemostasis - fibrin deposition
- Clot stabilization and resorption
What causes vasoconstriction?
Endothelin
What are the 3 steps of platelets during primary hemostasis?
- Adhesion
- Activation
- Aggregation
What molecule on the subendeothelial surface is involved with platelet adhesion?
Von Willebrand Factor (vWF)
What molecule on the platelet surface is involved with platelet adhesion?
GP1b
What binds to what for platelet adhesion during primary hemostasis?
GP1b binds to Von Willebrand Factor
What molecule activates platelets during primary hemostasis?
Thrombin
Platelet activation involves 3 structural changes. Describe those.
- Conformational change of the platelet (increased surface area) and GP2b-3a (concave)
- Negatively charged platelet surface
Platelet activation involves release of 2 types of granules. What are those?
Dense granules
Alpha granules
Platelet activation causes release of granules from the platelet. What molecule release causes more platelet activation?
ADP
Platelet activation causes release of granules from the platelet. What molecule release causes platelet aggregation?
Thromboxane A2
What does Aspirin inhibit?
Thromboxane A2 - Platelet aggregation during primary hemostasis
For platelet aggregation, what receptor on the platelet is involved?
GP2b-3a
For platelet aggregation, what binds to GP2b-3a?
Fibrinogen
Fibrinogen binding to GP2b-3a allows for?
Cross linking of platelets and forms platelet plug
What is contained in endothelial cells and is a source of von willebrand factor?
Weibel Palade Bodies
Where does von willebrand factor come from?
Weibel Palade Bodies in the endothelial cells
Von willebrand factor disease
Lack of von willebrand factor
- Trouble with platelet adhesion
Bernard Soulier Syndrome
Lack of GP1b
- Trouble with platelet adhesion
