Introduction to Hemostasis Flashcards

1
Q

What is Hemostasis?

A

Normal process of forming a mechanical barrier to blood loss at the site
of injury, while maintaining normal blood flow throughout the rest of the
body.

Thrombosis

A

– Formation of a thrombus (a fibrin/platelet mass sometimes called
a ‘clot’) in vivo within a vessel

Q

Embolism

A

When a small piece of a thrombus (called an ‘embolus’) breaks
off and travels through circulation, becoming lodged in a smaller
vessel leading to blood flow obstruction

Q

Arachidonate Pathway

A

ADP + Ca —–> PLA2
PLA2 —-> liberates arachadonic acid
Cyclo-oxygenase —- converts AA —> PGG2
PGG2 + Thromboxane synthetase —-> Thromboxane A2

24
Q

Where does aspirin prevent clots?

A

Aspirin is a cyclo-oxygenase antagonist

25
Q

Platelet shape change

A
Spherical + Pseudopods
centralization of granules
increase surface area
more contact w/ tissue and platelts
GP1b/IX internatlized
GP2b3a comes to surface
26
Q

Platelet Aggregation

A

GP11b/IIIa binds Fibrinogen and acts as protein bridge between platelets for the primary hemostatic plug

27
Q

Platelet Secretion

A

Shape change moves granules to center
granules fuse w/ OCS and release through exterior
granules are agaonists —- POSITIVE FEEDBACK
