Lecture: Secondary Hemostasis Flashcards
(92 cards)
Describes the activation of a series of coagulation proteins in the plasma, mostly serine proteases, to form a fibrin clot
Secondary Hemostasis
These proteins circulate as inactive _ that become activated during the process of coagulation
Zymogens (proenzymes)
Enzyme that converts fibrinogen to a localized fibrin clot
Thrombin
The gradual digestion and removal of the fibrin clot as healing occurs.
Fibrinolysis
The purpose of coagulation system is _
To generate the key thrombin enzyme and produce fibrin
Inactive precursors of coagulation factors; serves as substrates for previous enzymatic reaction in the coagulation cascade
Coagulation Factors / Zymogens / Enzyme Precursors
How many clotting factors does the coagulation system have?
14
What Roman numeral is not included in the naming of the coagulation system?
VI
Activated enzymatic factors; cleaves peptide bonds; no biologic activity
Serine proteases
All coagulation factors are serine proteases upon activation except _ and _
Factor XIII
Fibrinogen
Clotting Factor _ is the only transaminase
XIII
What coagulation factors are included in the serine proteases group?
Clotting Factors:
II
VII
IX
X
XI
XII
Clotting factors included in the procoagulant factor group
Clotting Factors:
III / Tissue factor
V
VIII
HMWK
HMWK means _
High-molecular weight kininogen
Transmembrane receptor for factor VIIa
Tissue Factor / Factor III
Factor _ is a cofactor to Xa in the prothrombinase complex in coagulation
Va
Produced primarily by hepatocytes; cofactor to Factor IX to form intrinsic tenase complex
Clotting Factor VIII
During coagulation, _ cleaves Factor VIII from VWF
Thrombin
Binds to activated platelets and forms the intrinsic tenase complex with factor IXa and Ca / phospholipid
Clotting Factor VIIIa
Cofactor to Factor XIIa and prekallikrein in the intrinsic contact factor complex
HMWK
HMWK is a mechanism for activating coagulation in conditions where foreign objects such as _, _ and _
Mechanical heart valves
Bacterial membranes
High levels of inflammation
Thrombin cofactor; activates protein C which inactivates Factor V
Thrombomodulin
Cofactors in the regulation and control of coagulation
Protein S and Z
Only clotting factor in the substrate group
Factor I / Fibrinogen
