TEST II Flashcards
STRUCTURED QUESTIONS
Mention 3 Terms associated with contact factors
- Plasma Kallikrein
- Factor XII
- Tissue Factor
A name associated with endpoint of secondary hemostasis
cross-linked fibrin
what name is associated with active serine proteases that have no cofactor
- Trypsin
- Factor XI
- Thrombin
Name Intestinal organisms that produce vitamin K
- Bacteroides fragilis
- Escherichia coli
what is the regulation factor for factor VII
Tissue factor
A term associated with activated prothrombin
Thrombin
what is the important difference between activation of primary hemostasis and secondary hemostasis
Primary is activated when there is a small injury while secondary is activated during major injurieswhen tissue factor is exposed
Important difference between shear rate laminal flow in arterioles and shear rate in veins
Shear rates in arterioles tend to be higher due to their smaller diameter and faster blood flow while Shear rates in veins are generally lower compared to arterioles
one important difference between des-y carboxyl procoagulants and y carboxyl
des-y carboxyl procoagulants: These lack the gamma carboxylation. Without this modification, they cannot effectively bind calcium and therefore have impaired clotting activity while y-carboxyl procoagulants: These possess a gamma (y) carboxyl group attached to specific glutamic acid residues in their protein structure. This carboxylation, dependent on vitamin K, is crucial for their function as clotting factors.
one important different between plasninogen and plasmin
Plasminogen is the inactive precursor form of plasmin while Plasmin is an enzyme present in blood that plays a crucial role in fibrinolysis
