Q

What is hemostasis?

A

Steps taken by the body to limit blood loss

*Not confined only to the production of a blood clot!

Q

Platelets release what that contributes to the vascular spasm?

A

Platelet factors

  • Serotonin
  • Thromboxane A2

*Both vasoconstrictors

Q

Step I of formation of platelet plug involves, its function?

Q

3 major steps of clot formation?

A

1) Activation of prothrombin activator (Xa)
2) Activation of thrombin
3) Creation of fibrin from fibrinogen

Q

What is clot retraction and function?

A
  • Get rid of excess fluid

- Solidify clot

18
Q

What is required for clot retraction?

19
Q

Platelets express what for clot retraction, function?

A

Express Fibrin receptor, binds fibrin polymer together

20
Q

What pulls the fibrin together?

A

Platelets contain actin and myosin, which causes a contraction

21
Q

What do platelets secret for repair of damage?

A

Platelet-derived Growth Factor

22
Q

What does platelet-derived growth factor do?

A

Stimulates fibroblasts to grow into area

23
Q

Fibroblasts differentiate into?

A

Smooth muscle to close hole

24
Q

Where is plasminogen made?

25
How is plasminogen activated?
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
26
Where does tPA come from?
Damaged tissue
27
Activation of tPA is inhibited by?
tPA inhibitor which is always circulating in the blood
28
What is found on an intact endothelial cell and is necessary for steps to produce plasmin?
Protein receptor called thrombomodulin
29
Binding of thrombin to thrombomodulin causes?
Activation of Protein C, which is able to inactivate the t-PA inhibitor
30
Inactivation of the t-PA inhibitor allows for?
Plasminogen (inactive) ----> Plasmin (active)
31
Function of plasmin?
Lysis of fibrin (breaks down clot)
32
What part of blood vessel prevents platelet from rupturing?
Smooth surface
33
Function of glycocalyx?
Repels platelets
34
Thrombomodulin changes activity of?
Thrombin
35
How does fibrin limit clotting?
"Binds" thrombin and prevents it from working
36
How does prostacyclin (PGI2) limit clotting?
Causes vasodilation and limits platelet aggregation
37
How does Antithrombin III limit clotting?
When thrombin binds to it, works as an anticoagulant?
38
Where is heparin derived from and how does it limit clotting?
Mast cells; increases antithrombin efficacy
39
How does ProteinC limit clotting?
When activated, inactivates factors V and VII, which inhibits further fibrin creation
40
Leidan mutation?
Protein C is unable to inactivate factor V
41
Leidan mutation commonly seen in and becomes a problem when?
Usually women who will have multiple miscarriages
