CHAPTER 1 - HEMOSTASIS PART 2 Flashcards
retains the blood within the vascular system during periods of injury
(vasoconstriction)
localizes the reaction involved to the site of injury.
(platelet adhesion and aggregation)
repairs and re-establishes blood flow through the injured vessels.
(coagulation and fibrinolysis)
Three Hemostatic Components
1) Extravascular component
2) Vascular component
3) Intravascular component
Play a part in hemostasis by providing back pressure on the injured vessel through swelling and entrapment of escaped blood
Extravascular components
Extravascular components Depends on the:
bulk or amount of surrounding tissue
type of tissue
tone of the surrounding tissue (
Vascular components Depends on the:
Size of the blood vessels
Amount of smooth muscle within their wall
Integrity of the endothelial cell lining
Platelets and biochemicals in the plasma.
Intravascular components
Stages of Hemostasis
Primary Hemostasis
Secondary Hemostasis
Platelet Clot
Primary Hemostasis
Temporary
Primary Hemostasis
Fibrin Clot
Secondary Hemostasis
Permanent
Secondary Hemostasis
activated by desquamation of damaged endothelial cells from small tissue injuries
Primary Hemostasis
Activated by large injuries to the blood vessel, releasing tissue factor.
Secondary Hemostasis
Primary Hemostasis Steps involved:
a) Blood vessel constriction
b) Platelet function cascade
c) Product: Platelet plug formation
Secondary Hemostasis Steps involved:
a) Activation of coagulation proteins.
b) Stabilization of platelet plug.
c) Fibrinolysis.
Platelet function cascade
- Adhesion
- Activation
- Secretion
- Aggregation
Primary Hemostasis Characteristics:
Rapid, shortlived response.
Secondary Hemostasis Characteristics:
Delayed, long term
Regulation: Naturally occurring inhibitors block activated coagulation factors to avoid widespread coagulation.
Secondary Hemostasis
Primary Hemostasis Involves:
(1) Vasoconstriction
(2) Platelet function Cascade
Secondary Hemostasis Involves:
• activation of a series of plasma proteins in the coagulation system until fibrin clot formation
Activated by desquamation and small injuries to blood vessels
