Q

how is TXA2 made?

A
  1. arachadonic acid release upon platelet activation
  2. arachadonic acid + COX = PG2
  3. PG2 gives rise to TXA2

Q

what are the roles of ADP in the blood?

A
  1. platelet activation
  2. triggers change in GpIIb - GpIIIa receptor on platelets - allows receptor to bind fibrinogen for initial plug formation

Q

prothrombin time test tests which arm of the coagulation cascade?

A

18
Q

where is factor VIII produced?

A

endothelium

19
Q

prothrombin and factors VII, IX, and X contain which modified amino acid residue?

A

carboxyglutamate

20
Q

what is the role of caroboxyglutamate?

A
  1. chelates Ca2+
  2. bound Ca2+ binds negatively charged membrane lipids
  3. clotting factors are active when bound to cell membranes
  4. restricts clot formation to site of injury
21
Q

what is responsible for restricting clot formation to the site of injury?

A

carboxyglutamate

22
Q

what is required for carboxylase to to convert glutamate to carboxyglutamate?

A

vitamin K

23
Q

warfarin inhibits what enzyme? what is the result?

A
  1. vitamin k epoxide reductase

2. prevents regeneration of vitamin k

24
Q

what forms the extrinsic Xase complex?

A

X + VII + III

25
Q

what is the role of the Xase complex?

A

activation of X

26
Q

what is the role of factor Xa?

A

slow cleavage of prothrombin to make thrombin

27
Q

which factors does thrombin activate?

A

V, fibrinogen, VII, VIII to sustain and accelerate extrinsic pathway

28
Q

what makes up the prothrombinase complex?

A

X + Va

29
Q

what is the role of the prothrombinase complex?

A

RAPID cleavage of prothrombin to make thrombin

30
Q

what does the intrinsic Xase complex do?

A

rapid activation of thrombin

31
Q

what is the role of transglutaminase?

A

forms bonds between lysine and glutamine in fibrin monomers - generates hard cross linked clot

32
Q

hemophilia A is a deficiency in what factor?

A

VIII

33
Q

hemophilia B is a deficiency in what factor?

A

IX

34
Q

what are the endogenous anticoagulant activities?

A
  1. thrombin
  2. protein C and S
  3. serpins
  4. TFPI
35
Q

what does thrombomodulin do?

A
  1. alters thrombin
  2. thrombin/thrombomodulin activates protein C
  3. C binds S
  4. C/S degrades Va and VIIIa - blocks clotting
36
Q

what is the significance of factor V Leiden?

A

resistant to cleavage by protein C - hypercoagulation

37
Q

what do the serpins do?

A
  1. inhibit activated forms of coagulation factors

2. binds antithrombin III and heparin

38
Q

what does TFPI do?

A
  1. inhibits VIIa - blocks extrinsic

2. inhibits Xa

39
Q

what degrades fibrin?

A

plasmin

40
Q

what stimulates TPA release?

A

protein C

41
Q

what does streptokinase do?

A

activator of plasminogen - breaks up clots
