25
(vWf): Substance exposed on a damaged artery surface that allows platelets to stick to and begin the formation of a platelet plug.
von Willebrand factor
26
is a serious neurological condition caused by a deficiency of oxygen supplied to the brain that can result in weakness, loss of control over muscles, difficulty speaking, and possibly death. The decrease in oxygen can be caused by either a blockage of a blood vessel in the brain or hemorrhage brain.
cerebrovascular attack
27
Condition marked by a deficiency of red blood cells or of hemoglobin in the blood.
anemia
28
condition characterized by abnormal clotting, usually in leg arteries, in which the leg might appear red, swollen, and painful. A DVT can break apart and lead to other complications, such as a pulmonary embolism
Deep vein thrombosis
29
an object, such as a blood clot, that dislodges and travels through the blood stream until it blocks a smaller blood vessel, thereby cutting of blood flow. Blood clots in veins often travel to the lungs, where they can block blood flow from the heart to the lungs, preventing or reducing blood oxygenation
Embolism
30
A condition that results in a reduced number of granulocytes, which include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
Granulocytopenia
31
A hereditary coagulation disorder that results in a decreased ability of the blood to clot normally.
hemophilia
32
A reduction in the oxygen supply to the body tissues
Hypoxia
33
The most common form of anemia, which can be caused by excessive blood loss, low dietary iron intake, or malabsorption of iron in the Gl tract.
Iron deficiency anemia
34
A type of cancer characterized by the production of cancerous hematopoietic stem cells that replace normal white blood cells.
Leukemia
35
An abnormally low number of leukocytes present in the blood
Leukopenia
36
An abnormally low number of neutrophils.
Neutropenia
37
A condition caused by excessive red blood cell production
polycythemia
38
Condition characterized by the dislodging of a portion of a blood clot, also called an embolism, which travels to the Iungs and blocks blood flow, causing difficulty breathing.
pulmonary embolism
39
Temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain, also known mini-stroke, which might signal an oncoming stroke.
Transient ischemic attack
40
A general term that encompass deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms.
Venous thromboembolisms
41
The most common inherited coagulation disorder that occurs as a result of decreased activity of von Willebrand factor
von Willebrand disease
42
The normal platelet plug formation process include
Platelet adhesion, Platelet activation, and platelet aggregation
43
Occurs when there is damage to an artery as a result of a cut or scrape
platelet adhesion
44
Platelets adhere to what in the first step of forming the platelet plug during adhesion
von Willebrand factor
45
Platelets become activated by changing their what to form the plug more efficiently.
shape
46
The medication that inhibits ADP
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
47
Medications that stimulates platelet activation
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), Thromboxane A2 (TXA2), and Thrombin
48
The medication that reduces cyclooxygenase and reduces prostaglandin and TxAZ synthesis
Aspirin
49
bind to the llb/llla receptors, preventing other platelets from binding aggregation
abciximab (Reopro), Tirofiban (Aggrastat) ,and eptifibatide (Integrilin)
50
what indirectly inhibit factor Xa via antithrombin, a natural anticoagulant in the body
pentasaccherides
51
what inhibit factor Xa and are known as direct acting oral anticoagulants.
Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) and Apixaban (Eliquis)
52
What are three ways that Thrombin exerts its actions
Stimulation by positive feedback Stimulation of platelet activation Conversion fibrinogen to fibrin
53
Low molecular weight heparin indirectly inhibit thrombin, as well as factor Xa by also binding to antithrombin.
enoxaparin (Lovinox) and unfractionated heparin
54
a direct inhibitor of thrombin.
Dabigatran (Pradaxa)
55
inhibits thrombin and factor Xa as well, but it also acts on several additional clotting factors, it also inhibits proteins C and S, which are natural anticoagulants in the body.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
56
holds the platelet plug in place like a net to form the clot, or thrombus.
Fibrin
57
is a natural substance the body uses to keep blood from excessive clotting, and medications can increase this substance.
Plasmin
58
Thrombolytics like what Converts plasminogen to plasmin to break down clots.

The medication in a capsule may be immediate onset, or may be in the form of time-released beads for optimal flexibility in dosing frequency, from once daily dosing, to dosing multiple times per day. The coating allows once or twice a day dosing.
capsule
65
is an example of a capsule containing time-released medication that can be taken once daily to reduce stomach acid production, which helps to prevent heartburn.
