Module 1 Laboratory Flashcards
All of the following are obsolete tests except:
A. Bleeding time
B. Capillary fragility test
C. Blood clot retraction time
B
Capillary/tourniquet test is used for
dengue hemorrhagic fever
Process of cessation/stopping of bleeding
Hemostasis
Bleeding is stopped by
clot formation
Unwanted / excessive formation is prevented by
inhibitors
Key player in primary hemostasis
platelets
Key player in secondary hemostasis
coagulation proteins, at least 16
Product of primary and secondary formation
clot formation
If clot formation and clot dissolution is not balanced, this may cause
aneurysm (embolus)
It retards or stops a process or chemical reaction
inhibitors
A blood clot that obstructs a blood vessel
thrombus
A mass (clot) of blood or foreign matter carried in circulation
embolus
Process of forming a fibrin clot
coagulation
Enzymatic breakdown of blood clot
fibrinolysis
Under secondary hemostasis, produces stable fibrin clot
Coagulation cascade
What are the 3 pathways in coagulation cascade?
extrinsic
intrinsic
common pathway
Clot dissolution is also known as
fibrinolysis
Abnormal thickening and hardening of arterial walls, causing loss of elasticity and impaired blood circulation
Arteriosclerosis
A form of arteriosclerosis in which lipids, calcium, cholesterol and other substances deposit on the inner walls of the arteries
Atherosclerosis
2 major parts of physiologic hemostatic system
cellular component
plasma proteins
Enumerate cellular components
Platelets
ECs
Neutrophils
Monocytes
Group of plasma proteins which participates in
Clot formation (coagulation) Clot dissolution (fibrinolysis) Naturally occurring serine protease inhibitions (anti-coagulation)
activation happens before
platelet adhesion
Has platelet adherence to nonplatelet surface (platelet to subendothelial) through VWF (glue)
platelet adhesion
Membrane receptor in platelet adhesion
GP1b/IX/V
found in endothelial tissue, Weibel-Palate.
VWF (von Willebrand factor)
VWD disease types
1,2,2n
If GP1B is defective/missing, there will be
BSS (Bernard soulier syndrome)
platelet to platelet bonding
Platelet aggregation
membrane receptor for Platelet aggregation
GP IIIa/IIb
Acts as glue during platelet aggregation
fibrin
If GP2B is defective/missing, what diease
Glanzmann Thrombasthenia
If fibrinogen is missing
Afibrinogenemia (absent)
Hypofibrinogenemia (decrease)
Dysfibrinogenemia (defective fibrinogen)
- secretion of granules. Happens at late stages of platelet activation process.
Platelet secretion
If alpha granules are defective/missing
gray platelet syndrome (genetic defect)
If dense granules are defective/missing
May-Hegglin Anomaly
can also trigger activation in intrinsic factor
collagen
