platelets
Plug

36
Q

2 types of granules in platelets are:

  2. alpha= fc4/ heparin antagonist, plasminogen activator inhibitor PAL-1, platelet derived growth factor, chemokine (help coagulation and wound healing)
37
Q

steps in reaction to vascular trauma:

A
  1. vasoconstriction= reduction of blood flow to area
  2. platelet activation and adhesion to collagena nd von willebrand factor
  3. platelet shape changes
  4. granule release (increased local conc of platelet activators, coagulation factors, vasoconstrictors)= all act to amplify haemostatic response
  5. primary plug formed and initial blood loss stopped
38
Q

primary response vs secondary response

A
  1. platelet, endothelial, fibrinogen (defects= immediate bleeding)
  2. Circulating enzymes, platelets, fibrin (defects= delayed bleeding)
39
Q

the coagulation cascade mostly uses…

A

proteins made by liver to activate fibrinogens into fibrin (which holds the platelet plug in place)

40
Q

3 parts of the coagulation cascade are:

  2. extrinsic= triggered by tissue factor
  3. Common
41
Q

intrinsic pathway includes:

A

Fc XII (activated by platelets prekallikrein= kallikrein) -> FcXII a ->FcXI = FcXI a ->FcIX = FcIX a
fcIX a+ fcVIII+ Ca2+ +PL-> activates fcX

(Fc 12 to fc 11 to fc9 +fc8 to fc10)

42
Q

extrinsic pathway includes:

A

tissue damage produces tissue factor (fc III)
fcVII from blood binds to it
Activates fcVII -> fcVII a -> fcX

fc3 to fc7 to fc10

43
Q

common pathway includes:

A

Fc Xa (+ fc V +PL +Ca2+)-> activate prothrombin to thrombin (fcII)
thrombin activates:
1. Fibrinogen (soluble in blood plasma) to fibrin (insoluble)
2. fcXIII ->fcXIII a
FcXIIIa cause fibrin to cross-link= make stable fibrins +increase its resistance to fibrinolysis (create fibrin nesh that hold plug in place)
