31
Q

when a platelet is activated what happens next?

granules leave
platelets stick to vessel walls and each other

32
Q

what does PDGF do?

A

stimulate fibroblasts to grow into the area

33
Q

where is plasminogen made?

what does it become upon activation?

A

liver

tissue plasminogen activator tPA

Q

how is tPA normally inactive?

A

inhibited by tPA inhibitor

35
Q

what inactivates the tPA inhibitor ?

A

activated Protein C

36
Q

once tPA inhibitor is inactivated what happens next?

A

tPA acts on plasminogen to make plasmin

plasmin will remove the clot

37
Q

how are clots prevented in blood vessels?

A

smooth surface stops them from rupturing
glyocalyx repels platelets
thrombomodulin

38
Q

what chemicals limit clotting?

A

Fibrin
PGI2 vasodilates
Antithrombin III
Heparin

39
Q

what does Protein C do when activated?

A

inactivates F 5 and 8 to inhibit further fibrin creation

Q

what happens to the stroke volume curve when preload is increased?

A

INC SV, shifts right

41
Q

what happens to stroke volume curve when afterload is increased?

A

dec SV and INC ESV, shifts up and shrinks

42
Q

what happens to stroke volume curve when contractility is increased?
