Secondary Hemostasis Flashcards
True or False:
Extrinsic Tenase Complex can activate Factor IX
True
Vitamin K-Dependent Coagulation Factors:
*Factor II
*Factor VII
*Factor IX
*Factor X
*Protein C
*Protein S
*Protein Z
The coagulation factors have been described as reacting in a:
Cascading sequence
3 pathways of Coagulation cascade
Intrinsic, Extrinsic, Common pathways
Most significant substrate:
Factor I - Fibrinogen –> Fibrin
A stable protein factor that is neither consumed during clotting nor destroyed by aging at 4deg Celsius for 2 weeks
Factor IX - Plasma Thromboplastin Component
HMWK is also known as:
High-molecular weight kininogen/Fitzgerald factor
Necessary for the activation of thromboplastin and for the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
Factor IV - Ionized Calcium
No fibrinogen group. Still contains 20% OF Factor II
Serum
Hasten the reaction of enzymes
Co-factor
Derived from
phospholipoproteins and organelle membranes from disrupted tissue cells
Tissue thromboplastin
Bleeding from small blood vessels may be stopped by _____ and the ____________.
may be stopped by Vasoconstriction and the formation of a platelet plug.
Factor XI
Plasma thromboplastin antecedent
Antihemophilic factor can be falsely decreased in the presence of:
Lupus anticoagulant (LA)
These are critical components in the formation of a thrombus
Soluble blood coagulation factors
Classification based on Physical Properties:
*Contact group
*Vitamin K dependent Prothrombin group
*Fibrinogen group
A proteolytic enzyme, which interacts with fibrinogen
Factor IIa - Thrombin
True or False:
All coagulation factors normally are present in the serum
False - They are normally present in the plasma
Factor X
Stuart Factor/Stuart-Prower factor
True or False:
Without the presence of Factor XII, Factor IX cannot be activated
False - Even without the presence of Factor XII, Factor IX can still be activated
Release of tissue factor from damaged vessel
Extrinsic Pathway
Leads to secondary hemostasis, the formation of stable fibrin clot
Common pathway
Has presence of serine in the active site; synthesized as inactive zymogens
Serine protease enzyme
Derived from tissue that surrounds the vessel
Factor III (Tissue Thromboplastin)
A beta-globulin and not an essential component of the intrinsic thromboplastin-generating mechanism
Factor VII - Proconvertin
True or False
The factor can be assayed in the laboratory
True
An acute-phase reactant, consumed during the clotting process and is NOT FOUND in serum.
Factor VIII - Antihemophilic Factor
Derived from diet
Factor IV (Ionized Calcium)
How many clotting factors?
14 clotting factors
A stable protein with a MW of 63,000
Factor II - Prothrombin
Precursor of fibrin, which form the resulting clot
Factor I - Fibrinogen
Factor I
Fibrinogen
True or False:
Deficiencies of Factor XI, IX, VIII, VII, X, V, Prothrombin (II), and Fibrinogen (I) are clinically significant
True
Other cells, like _______, also play an important role in the normal process of hemostasis and thrombosis
Endothelial cells
Group that is absent or not found in serum
Group 1 - Fibrinogen group
Prekallikrein is also known as:
Fletcher factor
Classification based on Function:
*Substrate
*Co-factor
*Enzyme
A potent platelet-aggregating substance, consumed during the process of converting fibrinogen to fibrin.
Factor IIa - Thrombin
Necessary for the activation of factor
IX by factor XIa
Calcium
Factor II
Prothrombin
The activated form of prothrombin with a MW of 40,000
Factor IIa - Thrombin
Activated once they come in contact with a negative charge
Contact group
Alpha-globulin, is a relatively stable factor that is not consumed during clotting
Factor X - Stuart factor
Reduced by Vitamin K antagonists
Factor VII - Proconvertin
This factor, in the presence of ionized calcium, produces a stabilized fibrin clot.
Factor XIII - Fibrin-Stabilizing Factor
Designed to stabilize the plug
