(P) Lesson 3: Secondary Hemostasis Flashcards
(143 cards)
Hemostasis is mainly triggered by what?
Tissue Injury
This is a physiological process that maintains blood in liquid state.
Hemostasis
Rearrange the following steps of hemostasis
A. Platelet Adhesion
B. Platelet Plug Formation
C. Platelet Aggregation
D. Fibrin Stabilization
E. Vasoconstriction
F. Fibrin Dissoloution
E, A, C, B, D, F
All are part of Primary Hemostasis EXCEPT?
A. Vasoconstriction
B. Platelet Plug Formation
C. Platelet Aggregation
D. Fibrin Dissolution
D
Both fibrin stabilization and fibrin dissolution are part of secondary hemostasis.
Fibrin dissolution is also known as?
Fibrinolysis
What are the three (3) important functions of hemostasis?
- Stop bleeding
- Localize the site of injury
- Tissue repair
If an individual has a problem with the sequence of hemostasis, it results in what?
Unbalanced hemostasis
An unbalanced hemostasis can result in which two (2) phenomena?
- Excessive bleeding (hemorrhage)
- Pathological clotting (thrombosis)
Pathological clotting means there is problem with an individual’s what?
Dissolution
What is the goal of primary hemostasis?
To form a primary platelet plug
What is the goal of secondary hemostasis?
To form a stable fibrin clot
The formation of a stable fibrin clot is triggered by what?
Tissue injury
Stable fibrin clots are formed with the help of what?
Plasma proteins
Also known as:
* Procoagulants
* Clotting Factors
* Coagulation Factors
* Blood Clotting Factors
Plasma Proteins
They promote the formation of fibrin clots.
Plasma Proteins
T or F: Platelets do not have roles in secondary hemostasis.
False
- Proteins in nature (produced in the liver)
- Named by their numerical designation based on the year of discovery
- Has 16 in total but only 14 have a direct effect on secondary hemostasis
Plasma Proteins
Clotting factors must be written properly in what form?
Roman Numerals
T or F: There are 16 plasma proteins in total that have an effect on an individual’s secondary hemostasis.
False
There are 16 in total, but only 14 have an effect on secondary hemostasis.
The numerical designation of the clotting factors are based on what?
Their year of discovery
What are the four (4) exceptions to the naming of clotting factors with their numerical designations?
Clue: Those more commonly known using their common name.
- Factor I - Fibrinogen
- Factor II - Prothrombin
- Factor III - Tissue Factor
- Factor IV - Calcium
These are the two (2) clotting factors that have no numerical designations.
Pre Kallikrein (PK) and High Molecular Weight Kininogen (HMWK)
When you are deficient in clotting factors, you are more prone to problems in what?
Bleeding
If a person is deficient in clotting factors, why are they more susceptible to problems with bleeding?
They have unfinished secondary hemostasis.
