Hemostasis Flashcards
Hemostasis
injured blood vessels formation of a clot
stages of hemostasis
- vascular phase ( vascular spasm/ smooth muscle contracts to make hole smaller (twist and turn) PM of cells become sticky
- platelet phase
platelets stick to sticky cells creating a plug and releases chemicals - coagulation phase
chemical reactions in vessel wall and outside of blood stream( depends on Ca+, Vit- K, and various proteins/ clotting factors
vitamin k
made by colic bacteria + food
TPO
thrombopoietin ( peptide based hormone )
made in kidneys and responsible for platelet formation and production of megakaryocytes
clot retraction
- after clot is formed , platelets of clot shorten using actin and myosin to contract
- stabilizes clot by pulling edges of damaged blood vessel closer together to heal
Fibrinogen
soluble plasma protein
clotting enzyme during coagulation phase
thrombin which produces fibrin
fibrin
insoluble plasma protein
fibrinolysis
removal of clot using plasmin (enzyme) (protease)
plasmin
enzyme used to remove clots
fibrinolytic drugs
drugs used to break down blood clots
pulmonary circuit
blood picks up O2 and get rid of CO2
RV ( right ventricle) has low or high resistance?
low resistance and moves 80 mil of blood
LV ( left ventricle) has low or high resistance?
high resistance/ more work/ more force to pump and moves 80 mils of blood
what vessel can carry more blood, veins or arteries?
veins
what cells make up the heart wall (inside heart)?
- 99% contractile cells ( mostly myocardium ( cardiac muscle tissue, BV, and nerves) also middle layer of heart wall( interventricular septum + atriums)
- endocardium ( most inner layer of cell wall) (simple Squamish cells + serous membrane)
- Gap junction ( allows action potentials to move from cell along with ions (Na+ and Ca2+) to reach threshold for AP
Outer surroundings of heart form the most inner to outer layer
visceral pericardium (epicardium), pericardial cavity (space) with fluid, parietal pericardium ( lines the cavity surrounding the heart)
