83
Q

platelet half life

A

84
Q

platelet origin

A

bone marrow - megacaryocytes (myeloid) - controlled by hepatic thrombopoietin

85
Q

platelet contents

A
  1. contractile proteins (actin, myosin, thrombosthenin)
  2. ADP, ATP
  3. prostaglandins, serotonin, clotting factors, endothelial growth factors
  4. calcium
86
Q

platelet functions

A
  1. release chemicals to promote vasospasm
  2. formation of plug
  3. release coagulation factors
  4. heal
87
Q

Vasospasm (step 1)

A
  1. occurs immediately upon injury (reduced blood flow, blood loss)
  2. caused by release of endothelin form damaged cells then from thromboxane A2 and serotonin from platelets
  3. can last min to hrs
88
Q

Platelet plug (step 2)

A

damaged endothelial cells release von Willbrand Factor (vWF) - they bind with collagen fibers and receptor sites for platelets. then adhesion begins.

89
Q

Binding in step 2 activated platelets to?

A
  1. send out pseudopodia (degranulation)
  2. release serotonin and thromboxane A2 –> promote vasospasm
  3. release ADP and thromboxane A2 –> attract more platelets (aggregation)
  4. release ADP and Fibronectin –>promote adhesion
  5. release several platelet factors (V and VII) and calcium –> clotting
  6. expose receptor sites for fibrinogen and prothrombin –> later clotting
    * *** plug is formed in 1-2 min
90
Q

deficiency in platelet plug formation

A

Petechial bleeding

91
Q

Clot formation (step 3)

A

secondary hemostasis - cascades of chem rxns. 3-6 min,

  1. extrinsic and/or intrinsic path –> prothrombin activator complex
  2. Common path –> activation of prothrombin to thrombin
  3. convert soluble fibrinogen to insouble fibrin
92
Q

> …..clotting factors

A

50, lack of any can lead to a bleeding disorder

93
Q

extrinsic-tissues bases

A

tissue factor thromboplastin 15-30 sec —>prothrombin activator complex

94
Q

intrinsic-plasma based

A

endothelial bind and activate plasma factor XII 1-6 min –> CTIVATED ENZYMATIC XASCADE (XI, IX, VIII< X, V, CA) —> PROTHROMBIN ACTIVATOR COMPLEX

95
Q

extrinsic vs intrinsic

A

extrinsic is faster and more powerful intrinsic is an amplifier

96
Q

prothrombin

A

a hepatic alpha globulin, liver synth Vit K dependent, attaches to activated platelets

97
Q

Healing (step 4)

A

fibrin meshwork serves as a scaffolding for invading fibroblasts, endothelial growth factor and scar formation begins.

98
Q

fibrinolyis (step 5)

A

clot is removed after healing sets in. plasminogen to plasmin= proteolytic enzyme –> FDP fibrin degrading products, removes clot and opens blood vessels

99
Q

intact WBC and endothelial cells …??

A

secrete prostacyclin and nitric oxid –> inhibit platelet adhesion

100
Q

Prevention of excessive clot formation

A
  1. fibrin binds to thrombin –> limits formation and pos feedback
  2. anti-thrombin III –> deactivated thrombing and other factors
  3. heparin from mast cells/basophils with andti thrombin III augment effectiveness
  4. in vitro - Ca binding agents
  5. in vivo - heparin, vit K antagonists
101

incision into skin or mucosa (expected clot 1-5 min)

103
Q

A

measures clot formation –> extrinsic common pathway (< 10 sec)

104
Q

APTT - activated Partial thromboplastin time

A

measures clot formation after clean veinpuncture plasma and contact activator, measures intinsic path (60 - 120 sec)

105

decreased production or increased destruction (immune mediated) or consumption

106
Q

A
  1. thrombocytopenia
  2. vWF disease
  3. Vit K dificiency
  4. hemophilias
107
Q

A

most commono- genetic lack —> platelets fail to adhere to injury sites –> spont. bleeding –> petechial
*** highest prevalence in dobermans

108
Q

Vit K def/rodenticide

A

impairs liver synth and clotting factors

109
Q

hemophilias

A

very rare - genetic def in clotting factor

110
Q

Thrombosis

A

clotting in an unbroken blood vessel-due to stasis, atherosclerosis, trauma, parasites or tumors. If it dislodges –> embolisms –> ischemia ex. saddle thrombus in cats
