Q

How does Adhesion work when Forming a Plug?

A
  1. vWF moves to Endothelial Lining
  2. Glycoprotein Ib (GpIb) Receptors emerge from Platelets
  3. GpIB attaches to vWF, attracting more platelets & making them sticky

37
Q

Which factor is known as Fletcher & Activates Factor XII and Cleaves HMWK

A

Prekallikrein

38
Q

What Activates the Extrinsic /Tissue Factor Pathway?

A

Crushing Injury or Organ Trauma Outside the Vessel Wall

39
Q

What activates the Intrinsic / Contact Activation Pathway?

A

Damage to Actual Blood Vessel

Initated by Prekallikrein & HMWK

40
Q

Which Factors are involved in the Intrinsic / Contact Activation Pathway?

A

Factors 8, 9, 11, 12

41
Q

How does the Common Pathway Work?

A
  1. Factor X (Stuart) + Factor V(Proaccelerin) = Factor XV (Prothrombinase Complex)
  2. Factor II (Prothrombin) –> Factor IIa (Thrombin)
  3. Factor I (Fibrinogen) –> Factor Ia (Fibrin)
  4. Factor XIII Activation (Fibrin Stabilizing)
  5. All amounts to a stable clot
42
Q

There are the Intrinsic, Extrinisic, and Common Pathways. Which pathway is considered the Terminal pathway?

A

Common Pathway

As the secondary plug leaves, it heals the vessel by weaving the edges together

43
Q

Why is the Conversion of Prothrombin to Thrombin essential?

A

Thrombin recruits Platelets & is necessary for Fibrin to form a stable clot

44
Q

How does Thrombin act as an Anticoagulant

A

Prevents Runaway Clots by Releasing tPA

Stimulates Proteins C & S

Works w/ Antithrombin III to stop coagulation

45
Q

Which Mineral is involved in many parts of the Common Pathway?

A

Calcium

46
Q

What are the 3 Stages of Cell Based Coagulation

A
  1. Initiation
  2. Amplication
  3. Propagation
47
Q

What happens in Cell Based Coagulation Amplication?

A

More Thrombin

More Factor 9 on Platelet Surface

vWF promotes Aggregation

48
Q

What happens in Cell Based Coagulation Propogation?

A

All Factors work together to finally Activate Prothrombin making A LOT of Thrombin, which then promotes Fibrinogen to Fibrin making a secondary plug

49
Q

What is the First Step of the Fibrinolytic System?

A

Increase Blood Flow to Injured Site

&

Remove Procoags, ADP & Thromboxane from vessel

50
Q

What does Antithrombin III do?
