Hemostasis and Thrombosis Flashcards
purpose of hemostatic system
- helps to ensure that blood is confined to and flows freely within the circulatory system
how the normal hemostatic system limits blood loss
- precisely regulated interactions between components of vessel wall, circulating blood platelets, and plasma proteins
common clinical manifestations of many diseases
- hemorrhage
- intravascular thrombosis
- embolism
the two mechanisms underlying the arrest of bleeding
- vasoconstriction
- formation of a hemostatic plug
vasoconstriction
- narrowing of blood vessels to help prevent further blood loss
formation of a hemostatic plug
derived from
- thrombus or clot
- derived from platelets and fibrin strands in which RBCs and WBCs are trapped
hemostasis is
- the arrest of bleeding following vascular injury
hemostasis is dependent on interactions between
- platelet adhesion and aggregation
- endothelial cell function
- blood coagulation system
- clot lysis (fibrinolysis) system
primary hemostasis
secondary hemostasis
tertiary hemostasis
- aggregation/endothelium
- coagulation
- fibrinolysis
components of primary hemostasis
- blood vessels
- platelets
blood vessels designed for
- smooth movement of blood from the heart to the tissues and back
the surface of blood vessels is considered to be
- an anticoagulant surface
the purpose of blood vessels being an anticoagulant surface
- prevents a clot from forming on their surface
platelets help to
- maintain the integrity of the vessel lining
- plug any rupture in the circulatory vessels
normal intimae that suppress hemostasis
- prostacyclin
- heparan sulfate
- tissue factor pathway inhibitor
- nitric oxide
- thrombomodulin
to suppress hemostasis you need Pretty Huge TNT
platelets are formed from
- the cytoplasm of bone marrow megakaryocytes
size of platelets
- smallest of the blood cells
normal platelet count
- 150-450x10^9 per liter
normal platelet lifespan
7-10 days
shape of platelets
- disc shaped
structure of platelets
that reflects?
- complex internal structure
- reflects the specific hemostatic functions of the platelet
flow of hemostasis
- vascular integrity breached
- procoagulation (initiate)
- anticoagulation (stop)
- fibrinolysis (clear out)
- vascular integrity restored
consequences of either abnormal or uncontrolled hemostasis
- bleeding (hemorrhage)
- thrombosis (venous or arterial)
blood coagulation system composed of
and they are called
- a series of specific plasma proteins
- coagulation factors
how coagulation factors interact
- in a highly ordered sequence
ultimate object of coagulation factors
- convert soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin
- stabilize primary hemostatic plug
coagulation factors referred to by
- Roman numerals
coagulation factors named by
- order of discovery
coagulation factor 1
- fibrinogen
FOOLISH
coagulation factor 2
- prothrombin
PEOPLE
coagulation factor 3
- tissue thromboplastin (factor)

- calcium
CLIMBING
coagulation factor 5
- labile factor
LONG
coagulation factor 6
- not used
coagulation factor 7
- stable factor
SLOPES
coagulation factor 8
- anti hemophilic factor
AFTER

CHRISTMAS
coagulation factor 10
- stuart factor
SOME
coagulation factor 11
- anti hemophilic factor C
