Hemostasis and Thrombosis Flashcards
thrombosis
inappropriate activation of normal clotting processes in uninjured vessels or thrombotic occlusion after minor injury
hemorrhage
defects in hemostatic plug formation
steps of clot formation
- neurogenic vasoconstriction in response to injury
- platelets recruited to injury. adhere to subendothelial matrix and are activated
3 phospholipid membrane forms upon which clot forms
4 thrombus formation
function of epithelial cells
maintain blood fluidity
regulate vessel tone- promote vasodilation
prevent aggreation
how do epithelial cells maintain blood fluidity
prevent interaction with adhesive proteins like collagent, tissue factor
secretes heparin like molecules
modulates fibrinolysis
tissue factor
membrane protein in smooth muscle, fibroblasts, macrophages, etc.
recognized as nonself trigger for coagulation
platlets
formed by megakaryocytes
dense bodies: ADP, ATP, serotonin, calcium
a-granule: VWF, Factor 5, factor 4, fibrinogen
the three As
platelet heomostasis
adhesion to subendothelium mediated by vWF
activation
aggregation- fibrinogen cross links, phospholipids exposed, and mechanical contraction
concept of antiplatelet therapy
prevents diseases like ischemic heart disease, CAD
aspirin- blocks COX1 in platlets
NSAIDS- blocks COX1
Plavix- blocks ADP receptor
Reopro: block GPIIb/IIIa
vonwillebrand factor
made and stored in endothelial cells and a-granules of platelets
constituitively secreted, and secreted by activation
vonwillebrand functions
adhesion- conformational change
aggregation- binds GPIIb/IIIa
factor 8- protects from cleavage and giudes to site of hemorrhage
which coagulation enzymes are vitamin k dependent?
factors 2, 7, 9, and 10
intrinsic pathway
factor 12 -> 12 a 12a activates 11 -> 11a 11a activates 9 -> 9a 9a in the presence of 8a and Ca 10 -> 10a 10a in the presence of 5a and Ca activates 2 -> 2a 2a in the presence of Ca activates fibrinogen to fibrin fibrin in the presence of 13 = crosslinked fibrin = clot
extrinsic pathway
TF and factor 7a activate
10 -> 10a
10a in the presence of 5a and Ca activates
2 -> 2a
2a in the presence of Ca activates
fibrinogen to fibrin
fibrin in the presence of 13 = crosslinked fibrin = clot
in vivo pathway
when TF comes in contact w/ 7a, activates
9 -> 9a
9a in the presence of 8a activates
10 -> 10a
10a in the presence of 5a and Ca activates
2 -> 2a
2a in the presence of Ca activates
fibrinogen to fibrin
fibrin in the presence of 13 = crosslinked fibrin = clot
