II. Anticoagulants Flashcards
What are the steps of primary hemostasis?
- Injury
- Platelet adhesion
- Shape change
- Granulosis Release (ADP, TXA2)
- Recruitment of more platelets
- Formation of hemostatic plug
After injury occurs, the ____ response initiates within seconds.
vasoconstriction
What does the vasoconstriction response expose?
von Willebrand Factor (vWF)
once platelets activate, they adhere to the endothelium via ____ and ____.
collagen, vWF
Doesn’t bind unless you have the vasoconstriction injury response that exposes the von Willebrand’s factor
.vWF binds to platelets, which in turn bind to other platelets via ____, ultimately forming a ____.
Fibrinogen, platelet plug
____ is an integrin complex found on platelets thats acts as a transmembrane receptor for fibrinogen & vWF, thus aiding in platelet activation.
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa
What forms a “chain-linkage” connecting platelets to one another (i.e., forming the platelet plug) during secondary hemostasis?
Fibrinogen
what is another name for Secondary Hemostasis
Coagulation cascade
Which neurotransmitter aids in the immediate vasoconstrictive process after injury occurs?
Serotonin
The fundamental reaction of blood clotting is the formation of a ____.
fibrin clot
____ (IIa) is a powerful platelet activator, and without there is no clot.
Thrombin IIa
Thrombin is the facilitator of the clot
____ is converted to thrombin (IIa).
Prothrombin (II)
Secondary hemostasis involves two pathways:
- Extrinsic or Tissue Factor
- Intrinsic
What is the role of the extrinsic pathway?
to generate a rapid rise in thrombin (IIa) via FVII-TF complex
Thrombin IIa is responsible for converting fibrinogen into fibrin clot
What is the coagulation test for the extrinsic pathway?
PT (Prothrombin Time)
What is the role of the Intrinsic pathway?
Factors IX, XI, XII lead to rise in Xa, which leads to increase in Thrombin (IIa)
what is the coagulation test for the intrinsic pathway?
PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time)
What cofactors are required for secondary hemostsis?
- Calcium
- Phsopholipid
- Platelets - B12 & Folate
- Vitamin K - Factors II, VII, IX, X are K-dependent
Prothromin is Factor ____.
Factor II
Without Prothrombin, you don’t have Thrombin (IIa), and without Thrombin, you don’t clot
Fibrinolysis refers to:
breakdown of clot
What is the main enzyme responsible for the breakdown of fibrin clot?
Plasmin
What is given IOT form plasmin so that it may break down the clown in a stroke case?
Tissue Plasminogen Activator (TPA)
