Q

what is mechanism 2 of clot control?

Q

what happens when tPA is released from healing tissue

A
  • The plasminogen is activated and becomes plasmin.
  • The plasmin dissolves the clot and inactivates other factors in the clotting cascade

Q

heparin’s MOA

A

Potentiates the action of antithrombin III
Increases the affinity of antithrombin III for thrombin by a factor of 1000
- Increased action of antithrombin III results in excess binding of thrombin. - No thrombin available to cleave fibrinogen
No new clots are formed. *Also inhibits some other clotting factors in the cascade
*Half-life 1 to 2 hours
