Q

Positive feedback loop that produces and reinforces the platelet plug

A

Platelet phase proceeds rapidly due to each arriving platelet releasing ADP, thromboxane A2, and Ca which stimulates further aggregation

Q

(Clotting/coagulation phase) Clotting leads to the conversion of

A

Q

As fibrin network grows,

A

it covers surface of platelet plug, traps additional platelets in a fibrous tangle, and forms a blood clot that seals off the damaged part of the vessel

Q

Procoagulants can be converted to

A

active enzymes which direct essential actions in clotting response

20
Q

Clotting factors are identified by

A

roman numerals

21
Q

All but three (III, IV, and VIII) are synthesized and released by

A

the liver and are always present in circulation

22
Q

Activated platelets release five procoagulants during the platelet phase:

A

Factors III, IV, V, VIII, and XIII

23
Q

The activation of one enzymes during the coagulation phase creates

A

an enzyme that activates a second proenzyme, and so on in a chain reaction or cascade

24
Q

The clotting cascade may be triggered by:

A
  1. Intrinsic pathway

2. Extrinsic pathway

25
Q

What two things affect every aspect of the clotting process

A

Ca

Vitamin K

26
Q

Both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of coagulation require the presence of

A

Ca

27
Q

Vitamin K must be present in adequate amounts for the liver to synthesize what four clotting factors?

A
  1. Factor II - prothrombin - common pathway
  2. Factor VII - proconvertin - extrinsic pathway
  3. Factor IX - Christmas factor - intrinsic pathway
  4. Factor X - Stuart-prower factor, thrombokinase - extrinsic and intrinsic pathways
28
Q

Vitamin K is ___ soluble and is absorbed with

A

fat

dietary lipids

29
Q

How is vitamin K obtained

A

from the diet

is also manufactured by bacteria within the large intestine

30
Q

What leads to vitamin K deficiency and what are the consequences of it?

A
  • Inadequate diet, disorder that affects fat digestion/absorption (like problems with bile production)
  • Eventually will cause the breakdown of the clotting process due to a lack of procoagulants
31
Q

What happens in clot retraction?

A
  • Fibrin network appears and platelets/rbcs stick to the fibrin strands
  • Platelets contract
  • Fluid (serum) is squeezed from clot
32
Q

Clot retraction is also called

A

syneresis

33
Q

Serum

A

Plasma, minus the fibrinogen and other clotting precursors that were removed during clotting process

34
Q

Two reasons why clot retraction is important

A
  1. Pulls torn edges of the vessel closer together, which reduces the residual bleeding and stabilizing the injury site
  2. Reduces the size of the damaged area, making it easier for the fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells to complete repairs
35
Q

Fibrinolysis

A

clot removal

36
Q

Plasminogen activators

A
  • Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)
  • Streptokinase
  • Urokinase
37
Q

4 anticoagulants that circulate in the blood to help prevent clotting during normal conditions

A
  • Antithrombin III
  • Heparin
  • Prostacyclin
  • Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA)
38
Q

Antithrombin III

A

Inhibits several different procoagulants, including thrombin

39
Q

Heparin

A
  • Released by basophil, mast cells, and endothelial cells.

- Accelerates activation of antithrombin II

40
Q

Prostacyclin

A
  • Released healthy endothelial cells.

- Inhibits platelet aggregation and opposes the stimulatory action of ADP

41
Q

Tissue plasminogen activator

A
  • Secreted by endothelial cells

- Converts plasminogen to plasmin which enzymatically degrades fibrin (clots)

42
Q

5 important drugs that are anticoagulants

A
  1. Heparin - stimulates antithrombin III
  2. Warfarin - depress synthesis of several clotting factors (II, VII, IX, and X) by blocking the use of Vitamin K by the liver
  3. tPA - stimulates plasmin formation
  4. Streptokinase - forms an active complex with plasminogen, which then converts uncomplexed plasminogen to plasmin
  5. Urokinase - directly degrades fibrin
43
Q

To prevent blood clotting, samples may be treated with:

A
  1. EDTA

2. CPD

44
Q

Ethylenediaminetetroacetic acid (EDTA)

A

Removes Ca from plasma thus preventing coagulation

45
Q

Citratephosphate dextrose

A
  • Removes Ca from plasma, preventing coagulation

- Used in blood banks
