Exam 1 Material Flashcards
(154 cards)
Prostaglandin and thromboxane are _____. Their synthesis occurs in _____.
Procoagulants
The dense tubular system of the organelle zone
What are the 5 steps of platelet plug formation:
Adhesion, Activation, Aggregation
Secretion, Stabilization of plt plug (fibrin)
What 3 components are involved in platelet adhesion:
vWF
GPIb
Collagen fibers
A strong agonist will take platelet plug formation straight to this step.
Secondary aggregation (which is permanent)
What happens during plt activation:
- 2nd messenger pathway activated
- shape change
- Secrete granules
- Organelles move to center
T/F Aggregation begins 10-20 seconds following injury/plt adhesion, and requires ATP from glycolysis:
True
List the 3 things required for aggregation:
- Ionized Calcium
- GPIIb/IIIa
- Fibrinogen
What initiates the intrinsic pathway:
Exposure to subendothelial collagen
What initiates the extrinsic pathway:
Release of tissue factor
What is secreted during platelet plug formation:
Alpha granules
Dense granules
lysosomes
prostaglandins
List 4 tests for plt activation:
- B-TG (beta thromboglobulin)
- PF4
- Thrombospondin
- PDGF
List some conditions associated with increased levels of plt activation markers:
arteriosclerosis, CVD, shock, DVT, DIC
Where is the glycocalyx located and what glycoproteins does it contain:
- Peripheral zone of plt
- GPIb
- GPIIb/IIIa
- GPVa
List the alpha granules:
PDGF vWF B-TG PF4 Fibronectin
What is the function of the alpha granules:
They are contact promoting factors
List the Dense granules:
ADP
ATP
Calcium
5-HT (serotonin)
What are the non-protein factor type granules:
Dense granules
Where is calcium sequestered, and when released triggers plt contraction:
Dense tubular system (organelle zone)
Where are peroxisomes found:
Organelle zone
Adhesion to aggregation takes ____:
10-20 seconds
This occurs when an external agonist interacts with a plt membrane receptor, a signal is transmitted form outer to inner cell, and 2nd messenger pathway is activated:
Plt Activation
Primary aggregation is _____, and secondary aggregation is _____:
Primary–> reversible
Secondary–> permanent
Plt count for Thrombocytopenia is:
<100,000/uL
At a plt count of _______ patients will show clinical signs/symptoms, at a plt count of ______, patients run risk of spontaneous hemorrhage:
<50,000/uL
<20,000/uL
