Mod 17 part 2 Flashcards
White blood cells are also made in the bone marrow, but _______ is more complicated because of the different types.
Leukopoiesis
Chemical messages, such as ________, and so called CSF or _______ stimulate the formation of specific WBCs from the bone marrow
Interlukins
Colony Stimulating Factors
An abnormally low WBC count is known as ______ and most of the time is caused by drug therapy
Leukopenia
Uncontrolled leukocyte formation that does not respond to neg. feedback but leads high numbers of immature nonfunctional WBC is called…
Leukmia
Depending on the leukocyte clone involved, leukima are put into two different categories
Myelocytic and Lymphocytic
Lymphocytic Leukima is further subdivided into immature cell type and one that is more popular in older patients
Acute
Chronic
Platelets are made of small fragments called
Megakaryocytes
What is the formation of platelets regulated by?
Thrombopoietin
This is the term used for a fast series of reactions for stoppage of bleeding
Hemostasis
What are the three steps of Hemostasis
Vascular Spasm
Platelet Plug
Coagulation
This is a vasoconstriction of damaged blood vessels (smooth muscle) triggered by injury, chemicals released by platelets or pain reflexes
Vascular spasm
Platelets stick to exposed collagen fibers at the site of a vessel injury
Platelet plug
Platelet plug swells and become sticky and release ADP that causes other platelets to do the same, This is an example of what?
positive feedback
What two chemicals further enhance the vascular spasm as well as platelet aggregation?
Serotin and Thromboxane
The last step of hemostasis is a set of reactions that leads to a formation of fibrin and a gel-like blood clot
Congregation
In the first of three steps, what is formed?
Prothombin activator
After the Prothombin activator is formed, what happens?
Prothrombin is converted to thrombin
When the thrombin is converted, what happens?
It catalyzes the joining of fibrin to make fibrin mesh
The first step of coagulation can be started in two ways _____ or ______ or both
Intrinsic or Extrinsic
This pathway is triggered by negatively charged surfaces that uses factors present within the blood
Intrinsic
This pathway is triggered by an exposure to tissue factor that is faster than the other option
Extrinsic
_____ causes plasma to become gel-like and trap formed elements
Fibrin
When thrombin activated factor XIII what happens?
Crosslinking of fibrin
Strengthening of Clot
In a clot reaction _____ and _____ contract within 30-60 mins
Actin
Myosin
For clot repair, this is the growth factor that stimulates the division of smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts to rebuild blood vessel walls
platelet-derived growth factor
For clot repair, this is the growth factor that stimulates endothelial cells to multiply and restore the endothelial lining
Vascular endothelial growth factor
Fibrinolysis begins within two days, _______ in a clot is converted to plasmin
Plasminogen
Plasminogen is converted by what three factors?
tissue plasminogen activator
Factor XII
Thrombin
