“stoppage of bleeding”
Hemostasis
Two steps of Hemostasis
Vasoconstriction and clotting
causes vasoconstriction
thromboxane
components of a clot
aggregated platelets and fibrin
precursor that produces platelets, activated by thrombopoetin
magakaryocytes
initiate platelet activation
agonist receptors
result of platelet activation and aggregation
platelet plug
cause platelet aggregation/ adhesion to collagen
ligand receptors - specifically von Willebrand Factor binding to GPlb-IX receptors
Secreted during platelet plug formation causing surface to become negative
granules
clotting factors of fibrin follow down a path causing the proteolytic cleavage of each other - path is called?
Cascade
problems with factor IX and VII causing inability to clot
hemophilia
subpathways of clotting cascade
intrinsic pathway and extrinsic pathway
subpathways follow same path starting at this step
prothrombin to thrombin
damages surface causes the cascade - contact activation
intrinsic pathway
trauma releases tissue factor and causes the cascade
extrinsic pathway
catalyst that converts fibrinogen into fibrin
thrombin
insoluble component that crosslinks and aggregates laterally to form a clot
fibrin
precursor to fibrin
fibrinogen (activated by thrombin to forn fibrin)
converts glutamic acid to y-carboxyglutamate forming specific clotting factors such as thrombin that are very good at binding Ca2+
Vitamin K
inhibits cyclo-oxygenase from converting archidonic acid to endoperoxides in platelet activation
Aspirin
anticoagulation drug that inhibits activity of Vit K
Warfarin
blocks platelet agonist receptors, so platelets cannot be activated
Plavix (platelet activation nixed - good way to remember)
anticoagulant “anti-thrombin” inhibits thrombin so fibrin clot cannot form
Heparin
anticoagulant commonly used in blood extractions to prevent clotting in tubes
EDTA
