occurs within the intravascular
compartment lined with endothelium
HEMOSTASIS
A tightly regulated balance between formation and dissolution of hemostatic plugs modulated by a series of enzymes and scaffolding proteins.
PHYSIOLOGIC HEMOSTATIC SYSTEM
Factors involved in Normal
Hemostasis and Thrombosis
Plateletes, Granulocytes & Monocytes
Coagulation Protein Sytem (Clot Forming)
Fibrinolysis Protein System (Clot Lysing)
Anticoagulation Protein System ( Regulating)
serves to form thrombin that initiates the proteolysis of fibrinogen, leading to fibrin clot formation
Coagulation System (Clot Forming)
→ functions to lyse the clot formed by thrombin
Fibrinolytic Sytem (Clot Lysing)
regulates all enzymes of the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems, so that no inappropriate excess of clotting or bleeding occurs.
Anticoagulation System (Regulating)
Vasoconstriction is a short-lived reflex reaction of the smooth muscle in the vessel wall produced by the
sympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system
increases the adhesiveness of platelets
ADP
Platelet during adhesion will transform from ________ to ______ which produces surface membrane organization
disc shape to a sphere with pseudopods
Internal contraction of the platelet results in release of granular contents of
alpha granules
dense granules
lysosomal granules
Platelets adhere at sites of mechanical vascular injury and then undergo activation and express what functional glycoprotein —- also referred to as?
IIb/IIIa
Alpha 2b Beta 3
Which receptors will mediate the recruitment of local platelets by forming fibrinogen bridges between platelets—a process called platelet cohesion.
glycoprotein IIb/IIIa
A process forming fibrinogen bridges between platelets
platelet cohesion
Glycoprotein ____ is specific for
platelets.
IIb/IIIa
Glycoprotein ______ is the most abundant platelet membrane protein (with approximately _______ receptors per platelet).
IIb/IIIa
50,000
gold standard test to determine platelet function.
Platelet aggregation
Agents capable of producing platelet aggregation in vitro (an energy dependent process):
Collagen
Proteolytic enzymes (thrombin)
Biological amines (epinephrine and serotonin)
results from bridges formed by fibrinogen in the presence of calcium which produces sticky surface on platelets
Aggregation
