What is hemostasis ?
the body’s ability to clot blood
What does hemostasis comprise ?
Injury -. Exposed collagen -> vWF
Interacts with glycoproteins in the surface - activates clotting cascade
What are red thrombi
What are the four phases of Platelets ?
- Adhesion
- Aggregation
- Secretion
- Cross-linking of adjacent platelets
What are the bricks o f thrombogenisis ?
formation of platelet plugs - thrombocytes
What is coagulation ?
formation of a clot
What is fibroinolysis ?
break down of a clot
thrombogenesis pathway
endothelial cells that produce PGI2 (prostacyclin) ->Damage expose vWF & collagen - Collagen binds to 1A , vWF binds to 1B (Adhesion)
Signals other platelets to come Aggregate
Secretion of 5-HT , TXA2, and ADP
Creates Cross- linked platelets
What does aspirin target ?
The clot itself
irreversible due to acetyl group
What are the pathways of blood coagulation ?
Extrinsic pathway - tissue damage exposes tissue factor
Intrinsic pathway - platelets interact with damaged endothelium
BOTH lead to common pathway
Thrombin activation - formation of fibrin clot
Factor 10 does what to fibrin?
Activates it
What helps platelets aggregate ?
Fibrin and fibrinogen
Tissue factor activates what ?
Extrinsic pathway
Extrinsic Pathway
trauma tissue factors - activates factor7
7 activates 10 directly
10 is in the common pathway - creates thrombin then fibrinogen to fibrin
Thrombin’s main effect
To convert fibrinogen to fibrin
Intrinsic pathway
surface damage effects internal factors -
activates Factor 12
then factor 11
then factor 9
then facto 10 common pathway
Prothrombin (2) is converted to thrombin
fibrinogen is then converted to fibrin
cross linked through additional actions of factor 13
thrombin activates 13
which then activates 5 - will assit to activate more thrombin
Factor 11 is activated and then activates protein C and protein S aids it in inhibiting factor 5 and 8 ( negative feedback to control clotting.)
PTT is which pathway ?
Intrinsic pathway
PT is what pathway ?
Extrinsic
Activators of coagulation pathway ?
thrombin - 5,8,11, 3, and protein C
Inhibitors of coagulation pathway ?
Protein c - 8 & 5
Antithrombin - 10
Virchow’s Triad
Stasis - decreased blood flow
Hypercoagulability - blood clots
Endothelial injury - damage to the inside of the blood vessels
Where do DVT’s occur?
large veins of lower limbs
But can break off and travel - potentially fatal
Starts form virchow’s triad
What are white thrombi ?
platelets and
Where are red thrombi ?
low pressure veins
A lot of fibrin and a long tail
