Test 2 - Clotting Flashcards
Three phases of hemostasis
formation of a platelet plug, coagulation, fibrinolysis
Formation of a plug (3)
Platelet: adhesion, activation, aggregation
Vwf
protects coag factor 8
Vwf binding site
Glycoprotein 1b
What makes Vwf bind to platelets?
change in shear rate
vWF coagulation via
glycoprotein VI receptor and A2B1 integrin
most common congenital bleeding disorder
vWF
Treatment of vWF
DDAVP or other clotting shit we use
Platelet activation at site
activated by agonists - collagen, thrombin, ADP, epinepherine
Platelet activation basics
change in morphology, release contents of alpha grannules - ADP, serotinin, factor V, factor VIII, vWF, Fibrinogen
What signals from the damaged site?
collagen and vWF
After binding (basics) what happens?
they undergo degranulation * release cytoplasmic granules (seratonin, adp, thromboxane A2)
Serotonin function
vasoconstrictor
ADP signals
more platelets to the area
Thromboxin promotes
platelet aggregation & degranulation & vasoconstriction
When platelets keep sticking what happens?
Thromboxane and ADP keep signaling even MORE platelets.
^ this forms
a platelet plug
1st factor damage tissue releases
factor III
Factor III + Ca =
Factor 7, initiating the extrinsic mechanism
Facor XII from activated platelets or collagen
(12 )to 11 to 9+8 , initiating the intrinsic mechanism
Factor 7 from extrinsic and 9 from intrinsic form
factor X
Factor X + 3 + V + Ca + PF3 activates
prothrombin activator
prothrombin activator activates
prothrombin to thrombin
Thrombin converts
fibrinogen to fibrin
