21
Q

Effect of GP VI binding to collagen

A

Activates internal platelet pathways and releases TXA2 and ADP

22
Q

Function of TXA2

A

Binds to TPα and TPβ

23
Q

Function of ADP

A

Binds to P2Y1 and P2Y12

24
Q

TXA2 and ADP effect on α2β1 (GP Ia/IIa)

A

Triggers increased affinity for collagen

25
Q

Combined effect of GP Ib/IX/V, GP VI, and α2β1 (GP Ia/IIa)

A

Firm attachment of platelet to damaged surface and spreading

26
Q

TXA2 and ADP effect on platelets

A

Activate adjacent platelets via their receptors

27
Q

TXA2 and ADP effect on αIIbβ3 (GP IIb/IIIa)

A

Provide inside-out activation for platelet aggregation

28
Q

Platelet aggregation process

A

Platelets adhere to other platelets

29
Q

Role of tissue factor (TF) in aggregation

A

Triggers thrombin generation, activating PAR1 and PAR4

30
Q

Coat platelet formation

A

Collagen and thrombin activated platelet integral to cell-based coagulation
