hemostasis/coag. Flashcards
Define hemostasis
cessation of bleeding from cut or severed vessel
what are platelets produced from
megakaryocytes
platelet survival time
8-10 days
where doe plat. membrane come from
off megakaryocyte
what is contained on plat. membranes
- procoag. PS
2. surface receptors
2 main platelet integrins and ligands
- GP2b-3a - VWF and fibrinogen
2. GP1a-2a - collagen
2 main platelet non-integrins and ligans
- GP1b-9-5 - VWF
2. GP6 - collagen
funct. of dense granules
storage of small weight molecules - ATP, Ca, ADP
funct. of alpha granules
storage of proteins
- when activated, secreted
define MI vs. ischemic stroke
- MI in coronary art.
2. IS in carotid art.
what causes adhesion
break in endothelium
what happens during activation
secrete alpha and dense granules
what happens after activation
cascade to create thromboxane A2 (TxA2) -aggregating agent
what does aspirin do?
blocks COX-1 - an enzyme in cascade - can’t form TxA2
what does TxA2 do
flip is procoag. PS to outside - promotes coag.
what does PS on outside do
promotes platelets to aggregate together and form plug - primary hemostasis
