Exam 3 Material Flashcards
(443 cards)
List the 4 steps of hemostasis
- Vascular spasm
- Formation of platelet plug (primary hemostasis)
- Coagulation and fibrin formation (secondary hemostasis)
- Fibrinolysis
Platelets contain the following components
Actin
Adenosine diphosphate
Calcium
Where and how are platelets produced
By megakaryocytes in the bone marrow
Normal platelet levels
150,000-300,000mm3
How long do platelets live
8-12 days (1-2weeks)
apex
How are platelets cleared
Macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system and the spleen
What’s the function of actin
Helps the platelet contract to form a platelet plug
What is the function of glycoproteins
Adheres to injured endothelium, collagen and fibrinogen
What is the function of ADP
Platelet activation and aggregation
What is the function of serotonin in the platelet
Activates nearby platelets
What is the function of growth factor in the platelet
Helps repair damaged vessel walls
Which substance is responsible for adhering the platelet to the damaged vessel
Von Willebrand Factor
What substance is responsible for platelet activation and aggregation
ADP
Thromboxane A2
apex
list the 3 steps required to produce a platelet plug
adhesion
activation
aggregation
Von Willebrand factor binds to the platelet during which step
adhesion (step 1)
How does the injured blood vessel initially activate the platelet plug
endothelial injury exposes collagen which activates platelets
what are the vitamin K dependent factors

What is the first coagulation factor activated in the extrinsic pathway?
Tissue Factor (3)
what factors are part of the extrinsic pathway
3 and 7
how fast can a clot form via the extrinsic pathway
~ 15 seconds
what is the first factor to be depleted in the patient with vit K deficiency
factor 7
a deficiency of what factor causes hemophilia A
factor 8
how long does it take to form a clot via the intrinsic pathway
up to 6 min
what factors make up the intrinsic pathway
