week 4- coagulation and hemostasis Flashcards
blood within an animals vessels must be maintained in a _____ state
fluid
flowing blood does what:
- moves platelets along
- doesnt allow platelets to contact the endothelial cells
endothelial cells aid in _________
prevention of blood clot formation
what do endothelial cells secrete
-proteins that help prevent activation of platelets and proteins that participate in blood clot formation
-proteins that break down blood clots
what is hemostasis
process the body utilizes to stop blood from escaping damaged vessels
hemostasis relies on interactions between:
the blood vessel, platelets, and coagulation factors
defects in hemostatic process results in
hemorrhage
what is hemorrhage
the escape/loss of blood from the vascular space
what is physiologic hemostasis?
goes on constantly
thrombosis (pathologic hemostasis)
the same processes can occur in contexts where formation of blood clot is pathologic and detrimental to downstream tissue
when can thrombosis occur
- when factors promoting coagulation are inc.
- actions of inhibitors/fibrinolysis are dec
what is fibrinolysis
enzymatic breakdown of blood clots
when are blood clots pathologic
when they are not localized to a site of injury, form in an uncontrolled manner, or fail to resolve over time
2 types of hemostasis:
primary - provided by platelet
secondary- provided by soluble coagulation factors
major components of hemostasis
- blood vessels
-platelets
-coagulation factors
-inhibitors
general steps of hemostasis:
- vasoconstriction
- primary hemostasis
- secondary hemostasis
what is vasoconstriction the result from?
local sympathetic pain response
what is primary hemostasis
-platelet plug
-physically bridges the defect
-platelets also provide the surface for secondary hemostasis
-secrete cofactors to aid in secondary
what are platelets
anucleate cells that form when megakaryocytes in bone marrow break off pieces of their cytoplasm
what are platelets made of
- alpha granules (adhesion, GFs)
- dense granules (activators, co-factors, GFs)
main steps of platelet plug formation;
-Adhesion
-Shape change
-Secretion
-Aggregation
-Contraction
platelet plug formation detailed:
- injury causes the endothelial cell layer to be unattached and expose vWF and collagen
- platelets bind to vWF and hold them weakly via GPIb
- platelets also bind to collagen via GPVI that activates platelets and change its shape
- form platelet plug and stable adhesion
what is the blood vessel subendothelial matrix rich in
-vWF
-collagen
what are vWF produced by
produced mainly by endothelial cells
