1 cause of death
Cardiovascular disease
Name two major cause to cardiac ischemia
atherosclerosis and artery spasm
white thrombus and red throumbus are also known as what?
- white- platelet plug
- red- RBC clot
high blood cholesterol is related to ?
atherogenesis
what characterizes early atherogenesis
leukocyte recruitment and expression of proinflammatory cytokines
inflammatory pathways promote what?
thrombosis
Name mechanisms of hemostasis
- vascular spasm
- formation of platelet plug
- blood coagulation
- fibrous tissue growth to seal
How is vascular constriciton associated with trauma
- neural reflexes ( SNS induced from pain)
- local myogenic spasm ( most constriction)
- local humoral factors ( thromboxame A2)
the degree of spasm is what to the severity of the trauma
parallel
platelets contain
contractile protiens enzymes calcium ATP Thromboxane A2 serotonin GF
specifically in cell membrane: glycoprotiens (recognize damaged areas), platelet factor 3( (aka thromboplastin) initiates clotting)
mechanisms of platelet activation
1) swell
2) activate- get spiky
3) contract- releasing granules
4) secrete ADP, Thromboxane A2 ( constriction), serotonin ( constriction)
Function of thromboxane A2
vasoconstriction and aids in release of granule from platelets
platelets important in ______ ruptures
minute
lack of platelets cause___
petekia
platelets eliminated by ?
macrophage action
What is the role of endothelium in homeostasis of blood
- prevents platelet aggregation
- produces PGI2( prostacyclin)
- produces factor VIII( clotting)
PGI2 functions are?
- vasodilator
- –> platelet adenyl cyclase —–I release of granlules
- limits platelet extension
Aspririn and Ibuprofen block prostacyclin and thromboxane A2, how?
blocks cox enzyme
some nsaids inhibit cox enxymes. what happens when cox 1 is inhibited? cox 2?
- cox 1 - decreased thomboxane A2
- cox 2- decreased PGI2
Anticoagulants vs Lysis of clots
- anticoagulants- prevents clots, tye up calcium
- lysis of clots- dissolves existing clots, plasmin
precursor for plasmin
plasminogen( circulates blood)
endogenous activators of plaminogen are found in
tissues , plasma urine
exogenous activators of plaminogen
streptokinase, tpa ( tissue plasminogen activator)
How is reperfusion damaging to tissues
free radicles
