Hemostasis, Platelet Plug, Blood Clotting, Fibrinolysis Flashcards
process that controls bleeding at the site of injury
hemostasis
main mechanism of hemostatic mechanism involves
platelets
what are the substance that binds to platelets when exposed to injury?
Collagen
VWF (von Willebrand Factor)
most immediate response of blood vessels to injury?
vascular spasm
chemical release to constrict the blood vessels?
serotonin
chemical release to speed up the formation and propagation of platelet plug
ADP, Thromboxane A2
platelet plug with the reinforcement of fibrin in skin causes?
blood clotting
2 pathway converge into a common pathway producing?
thrombin and fibrin
has the central role in the coagulation cascade.
further activates platelets, and initiates a positive feedback loop that is essential for clot propagation.
thrombin
small cascade that produces the enzyme plasmin.
Plasmin cleaves fibrin and dissolves the clot.
fibrinolysis
-coagulation needs to be dissolved to restore blood flow.
unwanted blood clot
most common blockage in artery
thrombosis
3 steps of hemostasis
vascular spasm
platelet plug
blood clot
components of blood plasma
proteins, salt, ions, fats
t or f
factors of blood coagulation transform fibrinogen in polymers of fibrin
true
t or f
fibrinolytic degradation are phagocytes by macrophages and eosinophils
true
Components of Blood?
Erythrocytes (RBC)
Thrombocytes (Platelets)
Leukocytes (WBC)
Plasma
55% of blood, pale yellow liquid that surrounds the cell
Plasma
91% water
7% proteins
2% other
45% in the Blood
RBC or Erythrocytes
1% (leukocytes & thrombocytes)
Buffy Coat
3 Plasma Proteins
Albumin 58%
Globulins 38%
Fibrinogen 4%
helps immune system
38% in plasma proteins
Globulins
helps maintain water balance
58% in plasma proteins
Albumin
aids in clot formation
4% in plasma proteins
Fibrinogen
what are thw WBC?
Neutrophils Lymphocytes Monocytes Eosinophils Basophils
