hemostasis Flashcards
what cells produce von willebrand factor
endothelial cells when they are damaged it is exposed
what binds the platelets to von willebrand
Gp1b very tight binding helps it withstand sheer force of the flowing blood.
what else does von willebrand bind what clotting factor
Factor 8 this will improve the half life of the factor
what on platelets binds collagen at the site of damage
a2b1 bind the platelet to the ecm
what causes the shape change in the platelets
adhesion triggers release of Ca2+ that causes the shape change
what does a dense granule from an activate platelet contain
ADP ATP Ca2+ histamine serotonin epinephrin
what dose an alpha granule from an active platelet contain
fibrinogen fibronectin vWF coagulation factor 5 and PDGF
what else does an activated platelet release
arachidonic acid that gets converted by COX to thromboxane A2
what of the stuff that is released by platelets leads to vasoconstriction
thromboxane A2, serotonin epinephrin.
what are signals for platelet aggregation
ADP and thromboxane A2
what is a change triggered by ADP
conformation of Gp2b and Gp3a allows reception of fibrinogen
what is the most common bleeding or clotting disorder
von Willebrand disease type 1 most common 80% are type 1
tell me about Von willebrand disease
does not bind factor 8 so it will have a shorter half life treated with desmopressin
what is bernard soulier syndrome
giant platelets often thrombocytopenia, fail to aggregate, defect in interaction of vWF and Gp1b so we give platelet transfusion when bleeding occurs or will occur
what is glanzmann thrombasthenia
defective gP2b and/or gP3a , fail to aggregate therapy platelet transfusion to address bleeding
