Q

Neural impulses in the vascular phase increase what?

A

Vasoconstriction or sympathetic tone, decreases in blood volume

18
Q

Chemical impulses in the vascular phase use what to cause vasoconstriction?

A

Activated platelets which release thromboxane A2 and serotonin

19
Q

What are the three events which occur simultaneously in platelet plug formation during hemostasis?

A
  • platelet adhesion, platelet activation, platelet aggregation
20
Q

What is the process that involves binding of platelets to themselves or two other components?

A

Platelet adhesion

21
Q

What is the binding of plate live receptors to ligands which triggers an exocytotic event known as the release reaction or platelet activation?

A

Platelet activation

22
Q

Activating more platelets and allowing platelets to form molecular bridges and subendothelial structures like collagen describes what?

A

 platelet aggregation

23
Q

What three things create the platelet plug?

A

Adhesion, activation and aggregation

24
Q

What is the process of blood clot formation?

A

Coagulation

25
What do blood clots consist of?
Mesh fibrin with blood cells and serum
26
The initiation of coagulation can be achieved by two pathways which are known as what?
Extrinsic and intrinsic pathway
27
How is the extrinsic pathway in coagulation activated?
By tissue factors which are released by damaged tissue
28
The intrinsic pathway in coagulation can be activated when?
When coagulation factor 12 contact with a damaged blood vessel
29
Extrinsic and intrinsic pathways triggers a chain reaction that converts what into an activated factor?
Zymogen
30
Extrinsic and intrinsic pathway is converge into the formation of what?
Prothrombin activator
31
Prothrombin activator than activate prothrombin into formation of what?
Thrombin
32
Thrombin activate fibrinogen Into the formation of what?
Insoluble fibrin
33
Where are the majority of coagulation factor synthesized?
Liver
34
What vitamin is essential for the synthesis of some of the coagulation factors?
Vitamin K
35
What is coagulation factor for?
Calcium
36
What coagulation factors are vitamin K essential for?
Two, seven, nine and 10
37
What enzyme is produced by damaged endothelial cells, which catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen into plasmin?
Tissue plasminogen activator
38
Where is plasminogen produced?
Liver
39
What is a product of the beta haemolytic streptococcus that can be used as fibrinolytic agent?
Streptokinase
40
What is a proteins that involved in digregation of the extra cellular matrix and with fibrinolytic property by converting plasminogen to plasmin
Urokinase
41
What are the two things to dissolve a blood clot?
Streptokinase and urokinase
