Hemostasis Flashcards
1
Q
intrinsic clotting pathway
A
factors 12, 11, 9, 8
2
Q
extrinsic pathway
A
factor 7
VII:TF complex
Ca required
K dependent
3
Q
K+ dependent factors
A
2, 7, 9, 10, C, S
4
Q
common pathway
A
10, 5, 2 (pro/thrombin)
5
Q
effects of thrombin
A
1) activate platelets
2) cleaves fibrinogen –> fibrin
3) activates factor 13 (crosslinks fibrin)
4) activates cofactors 5, 8, 9
6
Q
thromboplastin tissue factor
A
- glycoprotein
- sub endothelial cells
- exposed if vasc damage
- major activator of coagulation system
- complexes with 7 (VII:TF) –> activate X
7
Q
factor VIII (8)
A
- produced in endothelial cells, megakaryocytes
- bound to vWF –> stabilizes
(vascular injury –> released –> intrinsic pathway)
8
Q
factor XIII (13)
A
- crosslinks fibrin
- stabilizes fibrin plug
- requires Ca cofactor
- activated by thrombin
9
Q
factor XII (12)
A
- activates factor XI (11)
- activated by contact with negative charges (basis for PTT)
10
Q
warfarin
A
vitamin K antagonist
anticoagulant
11
Q
kinins
A
- vasodilate, incr vasc permeability, pain
- produced by factor XII (12)
- degraded by ACE, C1 inhibitor (ACEi incr kinin levels –> angioedema)
12
Q
antithrombin III
A
- coagulation inhibitor
- serine protease inhibitor (serpin)
- inhibits factors II, VII, IX, X, XI, XII (2, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12)
- produced in liver
- activated by endothelium (heparin sulfate)
13
Q
protein C
A
- coagulation inhibitor
- liver glycoprotein
- activated = APC
- thrombomodulin + thrombin –> activates to APC
- cofactor: protein S
-inactivates V, VIII (5, 8)
14
Q
TFPI
A
- coagulation inhibitor
- tissue factor pathway inhibitor
- inactivates X (10)
- binds directly to X, or binds to TF:VII to prevent activation of X
- heparin increases plasma levels of TFPI
15
Q
plasminogen
A
- active enzyme: plasmin
- breaks down fibrin
- also breaks down clotting factors, fibrinogen
- activated by: tPA, urokinase
