Inherited And Acquired Vessel Wall Disorders Flashcards
five major components In hemostatic response
Platelets Coagulation factors Coagulation inhibitors Fibrinolysis Blood vessels
What is primary hemostasis
Vasoconstriction and platelet adhesion and aggregation leading to platelet plug formation
Secondary hemostasis
Coagulation system activation
Fibrin strand and platelet plug reinforcement
Fibrinolysis
Activation of fibrin bound plasminogen
Clot lysis
Vessel wall layers
Intima
Média
Adventitia
Component of intima layer
Endothelial cells
Basement membrane of sub endothelial micro fibrils with collagen + elastin
Média layer components
Circular smooth muscles
Collagen fibers
External elastic lamina
Role of smooth muscle in média layer
Contraction or relaxation which regulates rate and pressure of blood flow
Elastin role in blood vessel
Stretch and recoil
Tone
Adventitia layer blood vessel
Collagen fibers
Fibroblasts
Role of Adventitia layer
Protection
Anchor in surrounding structures
