Q

What dpoes trauma lead to?

A
  1. Exposure of interstitial collagens (collagens in connective tissue between structures)
  2. Exposure of a molecule called Tissue Factor (=TF)

Q

What does trauma result in?

A

Defects in vessels-

Blood leaks out and serum comes into contact with interstitial collagen fibres

21
Q

What does thrombin converts soluble fibrinogen to?

A

insoluble fibrin

22
Q

What is the endpoint of the clotting cascade?

A

production of insoluble fibrin strands that form a meshwork

23
Q

Where are platelets produced?

A

Produced in bone marrow
From cell called a megakaryocyte

24
Q

Define Megakaryocyte

A

Large cell w many nuclei

25
Q

what happens in megakaryocytes in the bone marrow?

A

Undergoes nuclear division but not cell division so get huge cell with many nuclei

26
Q

Where do platelets bud off as fragments from?

A

cytoplasmic extensions

27
Q

How do platelets work?

A

Trauma to vessel  exposure of platelets to interstitial collagen

28
Q

Why do platelets join toegther?

A

Platelets adhere together try to form bridge to close gap

29
Q

Define coagulation.

A

Solidification of blood

30
Q

Name to the two types of coagulation

A
  1. Thrombus formation
  2. Clot formation
31
Q

where does the formation of thrombus occur?

A

In flowing blood.

32
Q

What colour is a pure thrombs?

A

Plae cream

33
Q

Describe the structure of a thrombus.

A

A thrombus consists of platelets and a mesh like network of fibrin strands

34
Q

Why does a thrombus of platelets and fibrin occur in flowing blood?

A

Platelets have molecules on their surfaces which allow adherence to interstitial collagen, even when blood is flowing past them – the clotting cascade deposits Factor VIII which enhances this further

35
Q

Describe clot formation.

A

Blood leaks out off a vessel and becomes stationary (or stagnant

36
Q

Whereabouts is the clotting cascade activated in clot formation?

A

Within the stagnant blood, sitting next to interstitial collagen

37
Q

Describe the structure of a cloot.

A

Network of fibrin strands and red blood cells

38
Q

tRauma to skin causes what to happen?

A

Every componant of blood leaks out.
This actiavtes the clotting system by collagen.
Then activated by stagnant blood which forms a clot.

39
Q

What happens if the clotting system doesn’t work.

A

VESSEL VASOCONTRCITS T DECREASE BLOOD LOSS.

40
Q

After vasocontriction, how will the platelets and fibrin thrombus reduce yet more blood loss?

A

A platelet and fibrin thrombus forms to bridge the gap between the ends of the vessel adjacent to flowing blood

41
Q

When the skin has stopped beelding, waht process has been achieved?

A

Haemeostasis

42
Q

Summarise howbleeding due to trauma can be stopped/

A

Vasoconstriction helps reduce bleeding
Clot formation occurs in space around vessel and may fill void of wounded tissue
Thrombus forms in flowing blood and stops bleeding from gaps in vessels

43
Q

What can grow in the area of a wound?

A

New vessels = granulation tissue.

44
Q

what do the capillaries which grown in the granulation tissue do?

A

They can oxygenate the area of the wound and keep it alive

45
Q

How can a thrombus be removed?

A

A blood protein called Plasminogen converts to plasmin, and plasmin cuts up fibrin into smaller fragments, as a way of removing fibrin (in both clots and thrombi). In a thrombus this is sometimes called thrombolysis

46
Q

How is the excess thrombus or clot removed?

A

By the fibrinolytic system which removes fibrin and stops thrombi from propagating

47
Q

What does the fibrinolytic system dependant on?

A

-Plasma protein called plasminogen being converted to plasmin
-Plasmin cuts up fibrin into fibrin degradation products

48
Q

What does plasmin do in fibrm?

A

cuts up fibrin in a thrombus.

49
Q

what is the fibrinolytic system in balance with?

A

The clotting system.

50
Q

What does palsmin generation at the site of injury do?

A

Plasmin generation, at the site of injury, limits the extent of the evolving thrombus

51
Q

Name two times where thrombosis and blood clotting are normal.

A
  1. Wound healing
    . Menstruation
52
Q

What are the three mai causes of thrombosis?

A

Changes in the intimal surface of a vessel (we have discussed one example – that is when trauma occurs)
Changes in the pattern of blood flow
Changes in the blood constituents
