27
Q

when does the clot dissolution happen?

A

when the new fibroblasts arrive at the injury site & repair proces start

28
Q

during retraction, what also happen to the wound/injuries site?

A

the edges of wounds are pulled together

the fluids also ooze out of the clot in form of serum

29
Q

What is the factor III?

A

thromboplastin

30
Q

What is the factor IV?

A

calcium

31
Q

platelet actomyosin

A

the protein that help the clot retraction

32
Q

The steps in forming prothrombin activator of extrinsic pathway?

A

1) Factor III and tissue phospholipid(TF) are released by damaged cells
2) Factor III + IV act on Factor VII to form complex VIIa
3) Complex VIIa + TF acts on factor X-> complex Xa
4) Complex Xa form with TF & factor V to form prothrombin activator

33
Q

The steps in forming prothrombin activator in intrinsic pathway?

A

1) PF3 and Calcium are released
2) Factor XIIa acts on XI -> complex XIa
3) XIa acts on IX -> IXa
4) IXa + VIIIa + PF3 + Calcium -> Xa
5) Xa + PF3 + Va -> prothrombin activator

34
Q

Where is the prothrombin produced? What vitamin is required for this?

A

in the liver by endothelial cells

vitamin K

35
Q

What is the last step of blood clot (or plasma coagulation)?

A

conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin

36
Q

What are the two factors in plasma coagulation that are not proteins?

A

factor IV (calcium)

PF3 (tissue phospholipid)

37
Q

Lack of factor VIII will cause what disease? What pathway in forming prothrombin activator is affected?

A

hemophillia

intrinsic pathway

38
Q

Mechanism of forming thrombin from prothrombin?

A

prothrombin activator and Ca2+ act on prothrombin to produce thrombin

39
Q

The steps in conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin

A

1) thrombin split fibrinogen molecule into fibrin monomer
2) fibrin monomer unites -> fibrin polymers
3) Complex XIIIa acts on fibrin polymers to form strong 3D fibrin network surround the platelet plug

40
Q

Is it true that factors, once activated adhere to original site of injury and act spreadly?

A

No, they all act locally

41
Q

Is it true that extrinsic and intrinsic pathway doesn’t have anything in common?

A

No, they share the similarites in steps fornming fibrin from prothrombin

42
Q

NSAIDs

Example of this type of family drug

How long does it take for platelets restores it functions if we stop this drug?

A

reversible cox 2 inhibitor

ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxene

right away

43
Q

What does thrombin do?

A

activate factor XIII and I

activate platelet plug to increase aggregation

44
Q

hemophillia

Example of this disease

A

inherited disease that lack of factor VIII

uncontrolled bleeding on “Clean” cut vessel while damaged tissue may clot

45
Q

Mechanism of clot dissolution?

A

clot produce plasminogen and clot dissolution occur

46
Q

thrombocytopenia

Cause of this disease?

Consequence of it?

A

the inadequate number of platelets

dietary deficiency of vitamin B12 & folic acid

prolong bleeding time & impaired clot retraction

47
Q

Coumadin

How long does it take for this drug to work?

A

the anticoagulant that inhibit the sysnthesis of vitamin K -> key plasma proteins factors are not produced

36-48 hours

48
Q

what are the mechanisms to prevent coagulation under normal condition?

A

the repellence btw negative charge of plasma proteins & of endothelial cells

the circulation of anti-coagulant agents

49
Q

What are the anti-coagulant agents? Each effect on plasma proteins?

A

fibrin absorbs most thrombin

antithrombin II binds to excess thrombin

heparin: interferes with activation of factor X

50
Q

aspirin

What does it do?

A

the irreversible cox-2 inhibitor

inhibit the production of platelet & thromboxane A2

51
Q

When should a patient have a surgery if he/she is using aspirin?

A

in one week after the day stop using aspirin

52
Q

plasminogen

A

the enzyme that degrade the fibrin clots

53
Q

What is the cause of Von Willibrand’s disease?

Consequence?

A

the deficiency of vWF

poor platelet adherence to injuries site & low lvl of factor VIII

prolong bleeding time

54
Q

What is chelator used for? Why?

A

in blood being draw for testing

because it binds with Ca2+ -> inhibit the coagluation pathways

55
Q

What test is used to measure the deficiency of platelet number?

What does this test also measure?

A

complete blood count

RBC/ WBC/ hematocrit & hemoglobin
