Lecture - Mixed Flashcards
The maintenance of circulatory hemostasis is achieved through the process of balancing
bleeding (hemorrhage)
clotting (thrombosis)
4 Major Components of Hemostasis
Vascular system
Thrombocytes (platelets)
Blood Coagulation Factors
Ultimate tissue repair
Processes involved in hemostasis following injury to a small blood vessel:
- Blood vessel spasm
- Formation of a platelet plug
- Contact among damaged blood vessel, blood platelet, and
coagulation proteins - Development of a blood clot around the injury
- Fibrinolytic removal of excess hemostatic material to
reestablish vascular integrity
Types of Blood Vessels
Arteries - arterioles
Veins - venules
Capillaries
Tissue Zones
- Tunica adventitia / Tunica
Externa - Tunica media
- Tunica intima / Tunica interna
a reflex in which blood vessels narrow to increase blood pressure.
Vasoconstriction
Vasoconstriction caused by
thromboxane A2
promotes vasoconstriction
Epinephrine
serotonin
ensures rapid lysis of fibrin clots
plasminogen
Regulates the permeability of the inner vessel wall and provides the principal stimulus to thrombosis following injury to a blood vessel.
Endothelium
Involved in the clotting process by producing or storing clotting components
Endothelium
Rich with plasminogen activator, which, if appropriately stimulated, is released and activates plasminogen
Endothelium
synthesized by the endothelium from prostaglandin precursors and strongly inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion
prostacyclin
where they act as modulators of vasomotor tone, cell proliferation, and hormone production
Endothelins
Endothelin-1 is produced in
endothelial cells
vascular smooth muscle cells
endothelin acts as modulator in
vasomotor tone
cell proliferation
hormone production
Endothelin-2 produced in
predominantly within the kidney and intestine
smaller amounts produced in the myocardium, placenta, and uterus
Endothelin-3 found in
high concentrations in the brain - proliferation and development in neurons and astrocytes
found throughout the gastrointestinal tract and in the lung and kidney.
play an important role in the initiation, progression, and clinical complications of various forms of inflammatory and degenerative vascular diseases.
Endothelial Dysfunction
Stimuli of Endothelial Dysfunction
Immunoregulatory Substances (TNF & IL-1)
Viral Infection and Transformation
Bacterial Toxins
Cholesterol / Oxidatively modified lipoproteins
Disruption of the endothelium directly activates all four components of hemostasis.
• After this event, the following events take place:
- Initially, rapid vasoconstriction for up to 30 minutes reduces blood flow and promotes contact activation of platelets and coagulation factors.
- In the second phase, platelets adhere immediately to the exposed subendothelial connective tissue, particularly collagen. The aggregated platelets enhance sustained vasoconstriction by releasing thromboxane A2 and vasoactive amines, including serotonin and epinephrine.
- In the third phase, coagulation is initiated through both the intrinsic and extrinsic systems.
- Finally, fibrinolysis occurs following the release of tissue
plasminogen activators (t-PAs) from the vascular wall. Fibrinolytic removal of excess hemostatic material is necessary to reestablish vascular integrity.
Essential Factors for Vascular Integrity
- Circulating functional platelets
- Adrenocorticosteroids
- Ascorbic Acid
The integrity of arterioles and venules depends on
vasoconstriction
platelet plug
fibrin clot
ultimate importance in damaged arteries
Vasoconstriction
Veins contain what percent of blood volume
70%
Veins, which contain 70% of the blood volume, may rupture with
slight increase in hydrostatic pressure
proceeds initially through a phase characterized by mitotic division of a progenitor cell, followed by a wave of nuclear endoreduplication.
Megakaryocytopoiesis
proceeds initially through a phase
characterized by mitotic division of a progenitor cell,
followed by a wave of nuclear endoreduplication
Megakaryocytopoiesis
the process in which chromosomal material (DNA) and the other events of mitosis occur
Endoreduplication
stimulate the production and maturation of megakaryocytes
Thrombopoietin
Thrombopoietin activity results from several different cytokines
erythropoietin
IL-3
granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)
erythropoietin, IL-3, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) have been shown to be able to increase
