Hemostasis Flashcards
Stoppage of blood flow
Hemostasis
Prostacyclin (PGI2)
Anticoagoulant
Eacosanoid metabolite that inhibit platelet activation released by endothelial cells
Heparan sulfate
Enhances activity of antithrombin-III that inhibits thrombin
13-HODE
Prevent platelet adhesion
Primary Hemostasis
Blood vessels & Platelets
Formation of a primary hemostatic plug
Secondary Hemostasis
Coagulation factors
Formation of stable fibrin clot and fibrinolysis
First response to injured vessel
Vasoconstriction
Serotonin & Thromboxane A2
Enhances vasoconstriction
Platelet adhere to exposed subendothelial cells
vWF + GP Ib
Platelet adhesion
Platelet adhesion
* In-vivo
* In-vitro
Platelet Adhesion
* In-vivo - Collagen
* In-vitro - Glass
GP Ib receptor
receptor for vWF
Disease - No vwF
Von willebrand Disease
also dificient in Factor VIII:C
Disease - lack Gp 1b receptor
Bernard Soulier Syndrome
Giant platelet syndrome
Platelet activation
Morphologic and functional changes in platelets
platelets change shape, and undergo pseudopod formation
Platelet Shape
- Resting:
- Activated:
Platelet Shape
- Resting: Biconvex
- Activated: Spherical/Irregular shape
Arachidonic acid
Substrate that is converted to Thromboxane A2 by cyclooxygenase
Function - Thromboxane A2
Enhances platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction
Platelet secretion
release of platelet granules
Alpha-granules
stimulate secondary hemostasis
All coagulation factors
Dense granules
stimulate primary hemostasis (platelet aggregation) *mnemonics: CAPAS
Calcium
ADP
Pyrophosphate
ATP
Serotonin
ADP
stimulate plalelet aggregation
Serotonin
Enhances vasoconstriction
Platelet aggregation
platelets attach to each other
Gp IIb/IIIa + Fibrinogen + Ca + ADP
Requires Fibrinogen and Calcium
Platelet aggregation
Gp IIb/IIIa
Receptor for Fibrinogen in Platelet aggregation**
Mediator of Platelet aggregation
ADP
Thrombin
Thromboxane
Glanzamann thrombasthenia
Defect in Gp IIb/IIIa
Gp Va
receptor for Thrombin
Mineral coagulation factor
Ca/Factor IV
Labile factor
Factor IV
Preffered name: Proaccelerin
Stable factor
Factor VII
Preffered name: Proconvertin
Antihemophilic factor
Factor VIII:c
