Antiplatelets/coagulants (exam 2) Flashcards
(128 cards)
When does endothelium injury occur?
Single layer of cells lining blood vessels is damaged
Injured vessel wall exposes blood to ___ and ____.
collagen
von Willebrand’s Factor
Neutrophils and macrophages in response to endothelium injury release
Platelet Activating Factor (PAF)
Activated platelets secrete
ADP, serotonin, and TxA2
Endothelium injury leads to
vasoconstriction then eventually a platelet plug which forms a clot
Consequences of endothelium injury
inflammation
vascular changes
thrombosis
leukocyte adhesion
Hemostasis
- Vessel constriction
- Primary hemostasis (formation of platelet plug)
- Secondary hemostasis (formation of clot)
- Stable clot formed
Formation of platelet plug
Platelet adhesion –> platelet activation –> platelet aggregation
Activation of a clotting cascade results in a _____
fibrin-containing clot
Platelets
blood cells that help form clots to stop bleeding
Adhesion
Process of spreading across surface of damaged blood vessel to stop bleeding
No injury present, platelet aggregation is prevented by
separating blood from collagen
secreting NO and PGI2
enzyme CD39 breaks down ADP in blood
platelet adhesion
circulating platelets attach to exposed vWF and collagen via glycoprotein receptors
platelet activation
irreversible change in shape to increase surface area and secrete granules
during platelet activation, ADP binds to _________ which increases _______________
P2Y12 receptors
platelet activation
platelet aggregation
fibrinogen binds to GP IIb/IIIa receptors on platelets –> crosslinks them to form a platelet plug
extrinsic pathway and factors involved
external trauma that causes blood to leave the circulatory system
factors 7 and 10
intrinsic pathway and factors involved
activated by trauma inside the vascular system
factors 8-12
the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways converge at _____________ which is also known as the _____________
factor X
common pathway
factor V is a __________ for Factor X because it ________-
cofactor
fits into the notch on X
activated factor X converts
prothrombin to thrombin
thrombin cuts
fibrinogen into fibrin
fibrin fibers form
clots
fibrinolysis pathway
plasminogen activator (tPA) –> plasminogen to plasmin –> breaks down fibrin and dissolves the clot
