Primary Hemostasis Flashcards
(46 cards)
Steps of primary hemostasis
Vasoconstriction > Platelet Adhesion > Platelet Aggregation > Platelet Secretion
T/F: Primary hemostasis happens simultaneously
TRUE
Constriction or narrowing of the (lumen) diameter of blood vessel to decrease blood flow
Vasocontriction
What is the purpose of vasoconstriction?
To decrease blood flow to prevent continuous bleeding
This substance reside in the connective tissue will activate platelets
Collagen
Bring deoxygenated blood from body tissues to heart
Veins
Where the gas exchange happen, when venous and arterial blood components are found
Capillaries
Brings oxygenated blood from heart to body tissues
Arteries
Structure of blood vessel: outer most layer
Vascular adventitia
Structure of blood vessel: Middle layer
Vascular media
Structure of blood vessel: Inner most layer
Vascular intima
Made up of simple squamous epithelium cells which are involved in clotting process by producing and storing clotting
Endothelia lcells (endothelium)
The internal elastic lamina the supports the endothelial cells is composed of
Elastin and collagen
Veins are composed of
Collagen and fibroblast
Arteries are composed of
Collagen, Fibroblast and Smooth muscles
This cells produces majority of the collagen
Fibroblast
This matrix regulates the permeability of the inner vessel wall
Connective tissue matrix
Highly active metabolically; involved in clotting process by producing or storing clotting components
Endothelium
A reversible process where platelets stick or bind to the endothelial cells or to a non-platelet surfaces
Platelet Adhesion
A membrane receptor that would expose when platelets are activated
GP Ib
GP Ib will bind to the endothelium (sub-endothelial collagen) with the help of
Von Willebrand Factor (vWF)
This promotes platelet adhesion
vWF
Important components in Platelet adhesion
vWF and Glycoprotein membrane
- Absent: GP IB/IX/V Platelet membrane receptor
- Characterized by giant platelet (giant bernie)/macrothrombocyte
Bernard-Soulier Syndrome (BSS)
