Q

Nitric Oxide Synthesis occurs where and how

A

This metabolic reaction occurs within the endothelial lining

Under the influence of nitric oxide synthetase (NOS), L-arginine is converted to nitric oxide
NO -> activates soluble guanylate cyclase, subsequently producing a second messenger, cyclic guanosine monophosphate, that causes muscle relaxation

Q

Adherence

A

vWF mobilizes from within the endothelial cells and emerges from the endothelial lining
Glycoprotein Ib (GpIb) receptors emerge from the surface of the platelet
The purpose of GpIb is to attach to vWF and attract platelets to the endothelial lining
vWF makes platelets “sticky” and allows them to adhere to the site of injury

Q

Activation

A

tissue factor ->conformational transformation-> activated
Structure swells and becomes oval and irregular
From the platelet surface, two other major glycoproteins, IIb and IIIa, project themselves outward
The purpose of the GpIIb-IIIa receptor complex is to link other activated platelets together in an effort to form a primary platelet plug
When this action is complete, the platelets seal and heal the site of injury within the blood vessel

Q

Aggregation

A

As platelets undergo this metamorphosis, they release the alpha and dense granules, the contractile granules, thrombin, and many important mediators into the blood in an effort to promote procoagulant activity
These mediators are responsible for platelet aggregation to form a primary unstable clot
When injury is minute and less threatening, this primary plug is enough to maintain hemostasis
When the injury is large, activation of the coagulation clotting cascade is required for permanent repair to create and stabilize a secondary clot to cease bleeding
