Q

Platelet Adhesion?

A

vWF (secreted by endothelial cells) to GPIb (plt receptor) to collagen (where plts adhere to collagen and promote spreading)
vWF becomes a bridge connecting plts to collagen fibers.
This promotes activation.

VII (proconvertin)
IX (plasma thromboplastin component PTC)
X (Stuart factor)
Factors are NOT consumed EXCEPT II
PRESENT in PLASMA and SERUM EXCEPT II

XII (Hageman factor or contact factor)
PK (prekallikrein/ Fletcher factor)
HK (high molecular weight kininogen/ Fitzgerald factor)
NOT consumed
PRESENT in PLASMA and SERUM
Requires contact with a surface for activation
Do not play an essential role in hemostasis except XI in vivo.

50
Q

In vitro (in test tubes)?

A

The initiation of the cascade occurs via two pathways: the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways.

51
Q

In vivo?

A

Basically a single pathway known as the tissue factor pathway.
Tissue factor and factor VII (extrinsic pathway) will also activate the intrinsic pathway in vivo.
Intrinsic pathway is necessary for large amounts of fibrin.

52
Q

Intrinsic Pathway

A

PK (prekallikrein/ Fletcher factor)
HK (high molecular weight kininogen/ Fitzgerald factor)
XII (Hageman factor or contact factor)
XI (plasma thromboplastin antecedent PTA)

53
Q

Extrinsic Pathway

A

VII (proconvertin)

III (Tissue factor)

54
Q

Common Pathway

A

V (proaccelerin) (is heat sensitive)
II (prothrombin)
I (fibrinogen)
XIII (fibrin-stabilizing factor)
55
Q

Extrinsic and Common Pathway

A

Requires tissue factor (not normally present in blood) to become activated.
Tissue factor is exposed when there is an injury to the blood vessel and it forms a complex with factor VII.

56
Q

Intrinsic and Common Pathway

A

Involves substances present in plasma.
Exposure to collagen activates factor XII and XI (contact group)
Uses accessory factors such as calcium.

57
Q

Common Pathway

A

Factor X is start of common pathway which when activated becomes Xa which activate II (prothrombin) to IIa (thrombin) which cleaves I (fibrinogen) resulting in fibrin strands and cleaves XIII which results in linking of the fibrin strands.

58
Q

Fibrinolysis

A

Process of removing fibrin

59
Q

Fibrinolysis cascade

A

Plasminogen>Plasmin>Fibrin>Fibrin Degradation Products (FDP)

60
Q

Plasminogen

A

Inactive plasminogen circulates in plasma.

As clotting begins, plasminogen binds to fibrin throughout the clot.

61
Q

Plasminogen Activators

A

Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA)
Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA)
Both activates plasminogen so that it can convert to plasmin

62
Q

Plasmin

A 
Initiates fibrinolysis (slow process)
Digests fibrin by hydrolysis to produce smaller fragments (cleaves fibrin)
63
Q

Fibrin Degradation or Split Products (FDP or FSP)

A

Dissolves clot as tissue repair is taking place.

Protein fragments that are cleared by liver.

64
Q

Detection of fragments in plasma?

A

Is a diagnostic value for some hemostatic disorders.
Plasmin splits fibrin into X and Y, then Y is split to D and E.
These fragments inhibit hemostasis from reoccuring and can be detected in the lab.

65
Q

The regulatory mechanisms of the coagulation cascade serve two main functions.

A

Limit the amount of fibrin clot formed.

Localize clot formation.
