HEMOSTASIS Flashcards
(234 cards)
it means the prevention of blood
Hemostasis
whenever a vessel is ruptured or severed hemostasis is achieved by different mechanisms what are they?
Vascular constriction
Formation of a platelet plug
Formation of a blood clot as a result of blood coagulation
Growth of fibrous tissue
one of the mechanism of the hemostasis where it is incorporated to the blood clot so that the hole of the blood vessel will be closed permanently.
Growth of fibrous tissue
after a blood vessel has been cut or ruptured the the trauma in smooth muscles causes the vessels to _________.
Contract
what are the predominant muscles in your blood vessels?
Smooth muscles
what are the three types of muscle?
cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle
predominant muscles are _________ in nature?
involuntary
What happens to the blood vessels when it recieves trauma? and what does it lead to?
Smooth muscles in the vessel wall contract, thus reduction of blood flow leading to
1.local myogenic spasm
2. Local autacoid factors from traumatized tissues and platelet
3. Nervous reflexes
what are the mechanisms that will cause the contraction of your smooth muscles?
Local myogenic spasm
Local autacoid factors from traumatized tissues and platelet
Nervous reflexes
when there is spasm there will always be _______.
Contraction
this are substances that are produced once there is trauma to your tissues?
Local autacoid factors from traumatized tissues and platelet
What does the platelet release causing the contraction of the smooth muscles?
Local autacoid factors
___________ are initiated by the pain nerve impulses or other sensory impulses that originate from the traumatized vessel or the nearby tissues.
Nervous reflexes
more vessel constriction can result from the _________.
Local myogenic spasm or the local myogenic contraction
it is initiated by the direct trauma to your vessel wall
Local myogenic spasm or contraction
In the smaller vessels, what are responsible from much of the vasoconstriction?
Platelets
Why are platelets responsible from the forming of the vasoconstriction?
since platelets release a vasoconstrictor substance called Thromboxane A2.
causes the reduction of the blood flow through the contraction of your smooth muscles, particularly in your smaller vessels
Thromboxane A2
the more severely a vessel is traumatized the greater also the ___________.
degree of vascular spasm
can last for many minutes or even hours during which time the process of platelet plugging and the other mechanisms of hemostasis like blood coagulation.
Vascular spasm
time of the vascular spasm?
many minutes to hours
when can vascular spasm occur?
during the process of platelet plugging and other hemostasis mechanisms
platelets are also called?
thrombocytes
Thrombocytes are called?
platelets
