Hemostasis - Midterm Wrapup Flashcards
What is Hemostasis?
Balance b/t Bleeding & Clotting
What’s involved in the Process of Hemostasis?
Vessel Wall
Platelets
Coag. Cascade
Fibrinolytic System
What are the different layers of Arteries & Veins?
Tunica Adventitia
Tunica Media
Tunica Intima
What are Capillaries made of?
Single Endothelial Layer
Which Endothelial layer forms a barrier b/t fluid within the blood vessel & thrombogenic material in the Tunica Media?
Tunica Intima - Endothelial Layer
Which factors are considered Procoagulants?
Von Willebrand Factor (vWF) - how platelets stick to subendothelium
&
Tissue Factor - Activates clotting cascade during injury
&
Vitamin K (Nonherbal Dietary)
Which Endothelial Factors cause Vasoconstriction?
Thromboxane A2
ADP
Serotonin
Which Endothelial Cells cause Vasodilation?
Nitric Oxide
&
Prostacyclin
Which Endothelial Layer is Thrombogenic, Active, and contains Collagen & Fibronectin?
Tunica Media - Subendothelial
What is the function of the Tunica Adventitia?
Controls blood flow by Vasodilation via Nitric Oxide & Prostacyclin
What are the Mediators in the Endothelial Layer or Tunica Intima?
vWF
Tissue Factor
Prostacyclin
Nitric Oxide
______ are round, disk-like, and are formed in the Bone Marrow.
Platelets - important part of clotting response - homeostasis impossible w/o them
What does the Platelet Cell contain?
Mitochondria
Glycogen Stores
Proteins
Calcium
Enzymes
Alpha Granules
Dense Granules
Which factors are part of the Platelet’s Alpha Granules?
vWF
Fibrinogen
Fibronectin
Platelet Factor 4
Platelet Growth Factor
What are considered part of the Platelet’s Dense Granules?
Serotonin
ADP
ATP
Histamine
Epinephrine
Platelets produce ______, which activate coag factors & influences platelet recruitment
Platelets produce thrombin, which activate coag factors & influences platelet recruitment
Platelets only activated & active w/ tissue trauma
True/False: Platelet contain a Nucleus & DNA, but no RNA.
False - Platelets have no nucleus, RNA, or DNA
What is involved in the Formation of a Plug for Vessel Injury?
Adhesion
Activation
Aggregation
What happens when there is a Disruption of Endothelial Lining?
Autonomic Vessel Contraction w/ Thromboxane A2 & ADP
How does Adhesion work when Forming a Plug?
- vWF moves to Endothelial Lining
- Glycoprotein Ib (GpIb) Receptors emerge from Platelets
- GpIB attaches to vWF, attracting more platelets & making them sticky
How does Activation happen in the Formation of a Plug?
Tissue factors activate Platelets & 2 more Glyycoproteins (IIb & IIIa) emerge from platelets
What is the name of the Cell Feet that shows in Activated Platelets?
Pseudopodia
How does Aggregation happen w/ the formation of a plug?
Gp IIb & Gp IIIa sticks platelets together to Seal & Heal injured site
&
Platelets release Alpha, Dense, and Contractile Granules, Thrombin, & Procoags
What activates Cofactors/Zymogens?
Tissue/Organ Damage
Normally circulates in an Inactive State until Activated
Cofactors in the Clotting Cascade are enzymes w/ the exception of Factor ___ & Factor ___.
Cofactors in the Clotting Cascade are enzymes w/ the exception of Factor V & Factor VIII
What is Factor I?
Fibrinogen from the Liver that forms clot w/ No Vit. K Dependency
What is Factor II?
Prothrombin from the Liver w/ Vit. K Dependency.
What is Factor III?
Tissue Factor/Thromboplastin from the Vascular wall & cell membranes.
Factor VII Cofactor
What is Factor IV?
Calcium from Diet that promotes clotting reactions
What is Factor V?
Proaccelerin from the Liver that forms a Prothrombinase Complex
Factor X Cofactor
