Question 1

Primary Hemostasis is characterized as (3) events

Answer 1

1. Vascular constriction 2. Platelet Aggregation 3. Soft aggregate plug

Question 2

During primary hemostasis, adhesion occurs when BLANKK attaches to the sub endothelium.

Answer 2

Von willebrand factor vWf allows glycoproteins to adhere to the sub endothelium

Question 3

Primary hemostasis has a BLANKKK time interval, where as Secondary hemostasis has BLANKK time interval.

Answer 3

Primary=Short lived 20 seconds after injury

Secondary=Long lived

Question 4

Secondary hemostasis is responsible for (2) events

Answer 4

stabilizing the soft clot and maintaining vasoconstriction

Question 5

Vasoconstriction is maintained through the platelet secretion of …. (3)

Answer 5

Serotonin, thromboxane, and prostaglandin

Question 6

As fibrin sets up into a clot, BLANKKK is deposited in to the forming clot until it is activated into plasmin.

Answer 6

Plasminogen

Question 7

Plasmin is a

Answer 7

fibrinolytic enzyme that degrades fibrin to remove the clot.

Question 8

Bleeding Time BT is a BLANKKK test

Answer 8

Platelet Function test

Question 9

Bleeding time is (dependent or independent) on the coagulation

Answer 9

independent, platelet plug will form regardless of fibrin formation

Question 10

How will the bleeding time change during thrombocytopenia?

Answer 10

it will be prolonged due to a decreased platelet number

Question 11

What are the two methods of performing a BT test?

Answer 11

Duke method-Stab method to ear lobe
AND
Ivy Bleeding TIme-incision to the forearm
