Megakaryocyte breakup (into fragments)
Platelets
Platelets are anuclear. TRUE/FALSE
TRUE
Normal circulating conc of plts
150,000-450,000 plt/microliter
Halflife of plt
8-12 days
Contractile proteins found in the cytoplasm of plts
Actin
Myosin
Thrombosthenin
Purpose of ER and Golgi apparatus in cytoplasm of plt
ER: Ca++ storage
GA: enzyme synthesis
Plts contain mitochondria for ADP/ATP synthesis. TRUE/FALSE
TRUE
These two things are in the cytoplasm of plts and play a role in plt aggregation, plt antiaggregation and some vasoconstriction
PGs
TxA2 synthesis
Stabilizes fibrin threads and the clot; located in cytoplasm of plt.
Fibrin-stabilizing factor synthesis
Used to repair damaged tissue; promote healing; in cytoplasm of plt.
Growth factors
3 components of the cell membrane of plt
Glycoproteins coating
Phospholipids
Receptors
Part of the cell membrane that prevents plts from adhering to normal vascular endothelium
Glycoprotein coating
Part of cell membrane that plays a role in coagulation cascade
Phospholipids
Part of cell membrane that allows plts to become activated
Receptors
Prevention of blood loss
Hemostasis
How hemostasis is achieved (in order)
Vascular constriction Plt plug formation Blood coag/clot Fibrin formation and repair of vessel Clot lysis
4 Things that cause vascular constriction
Trauma
Vascular smooth muscle Spasm
Pain/SNS reflexes (NE/epi released when cut, etc.)
Plts–TxA2–vasoconstriction
The greater the trauma, the greater the amount of constriction, TRUE/FALSE
TRUE
Plts are activated when they contact _______ vascular endothelium and collagen in BV wall.
Damaged
When plts contact damaged vessel, they swell and exude _______, or “false feet” projections
Pseudopods
After exuding pseudopods, these contract and release clotting factors
Actin
Myosin
Thrombosthenin
After actin/myosin/thrombosthenin contract, plts get sticky and aggregate; adhere to _______ and ________ factor in BV wall
Collagen
Von willebrand factor
This activates other plts after plts start adhereing to BV wall
ADp and TxA2 secretion
Plts express ______ receptors to form platelet plug
Receptors
Fibrinogen receptors form fibrinogen _______, converted eventually to mesh/clot
Fibers
After fibrin threads form in plt plug, this may seal what type of injury?
Small BV injury
Larger injury requires what beyond plt plug formation?
Blood coagulation or blood clot
VWF deficiency can lead to major bleeding issues; how can we treat this?
Give VWF conc
DDAVP (desmopressin)
Cryoprecipitate
Blood coag/clot begins _____ min for minor injury; and ______ sec for major trauma
1-2 min minor
15-20 sec major trauma
In ______ min tear in vessel is filled with clot
3-6 min
Clot retracts in _______ min; closes tear more
20-60 min
Balance between procoagulants and anticoagulants
Normally anticoagulants predominate
After injury: procoagulants predominate
Procoagulants should only predominate ________, if not you can have coagulopathies.
Locally (to injury)
3 essential steps of coagulation
Activation of blood coag factors and formation of prothrombinase (prothrombin activator)
Prothrombinase converts prothrombin to thrombin
Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin fibers = enmesh plts, blood cells, and plasma to form clot
2 pathways for prothrombinase formation
Extrinsic (tissue factor) pathway
Intrinsic (contact activation) pathway
Beginning with activation of Factor ____, both become a common pathway
X
If blood vessel ruptures, both pathways are activated simultaneously. TRUE/FALSE.
TRUE
Which pathway can become out of control or explosive?
Extrinsic pathway
What starts the extrinsic clotting pathway
Tissue damage
What starts the intrinsic clotting pathway
Contact with collagen of damaged blood vessel
Final outcome of both extrinsic/intrinsic pathway Stage 1.
Prothrombinase
______ pathway can feed into the ________ pathway; which part feeds in to the other?
Extrinsic can feed into intrinsic pathway
Thromboplastin/factor VII complex
This electrolyte plays major role in both clotting pathways; necessary
Ca++
Coagulation factors are synthesized where?
The liver
Abnormal liver fxn can lead to abnormal coag.
Prothrombinase converts prothrombin into ______; final outcome of stage ____.
Thrombin
Stage 2
Vitamin K dependent clotting factor
Prothrombin
