Q

process of blood clotting

  • three major portions;
    1. constrictions of the blood vessels
    2. activity of platelets that help in blood clotting
    3. actitivity of proteins found in blood that work with platelets to help the blood clot
A

hemostasis

97
Q

results in the accumulation of platelets at the wound site and the formation of a fibrin clot which stems blood flow in order to limit the amount of blood lost.
-injury to blood vessel occurs exposing collagen that’s normally not exposed

A

coagulation cascade

98
Q

allows for a weak platelet plug to form which provides temporary protection from hemorrhaging

A

primary hemostasis

99
Q

process of primary hemostasis (4)

A
  1. vasoconstriction
    - pressure helps to close any gaps in the vessel wall and to reduce blood flow
    - collagen and von willebrand factor are exposed
  2. platelet adhesion
    - platelets begin to attach to the exposed collagen and bind with V.W factor
  3. platelet activation
    - change in shape from smooth to spiky
    - secretes cytoplasmic granules
    - activated by thrombin
  4. platelet aggregation
    - begins once the platelets are activated and receptors allow for adhesion to V.W factor and fibrogen
100
Q

stabilizes the weak platelet plug

A

secondary hemostasis

101
Q

process of secondary hemostasis (3)

A
  1. trigger activation of clotting factors

Q

features of the atria (upper chambers) (4)

A
  1. smaller than ventricles
  2. auricle ; ear like extension on both atria

    - L atrial auricle collects oxygenated blood as it leaves lungs
  3. atria often Called “receiving chambers” because blood enters the heart through the veins that open into the atria
  4. fossa ovalis; depression in the R atrium
    - thin fibrous sheet that covered the foramen oval during fetal development
    - foramen ovale; small hole in septum between the 2 atria that helps the fetus get oxygenated rich blood
  5. coronary sinus orifice
114
Q

features of the ventricles (lower chambers) (3)

A
  1. pulmonary trunk originates at the R ventricle
    - branches into R/L pulmonary arteries and lead to the lungs
  2. common pulmonary orifice; opening between pulmonary trunk and R ventricle
  3. referred to as discharging chambers ; b/c blood is pumped from the ventricles and into the arteries
