Abnormalities of Blood Coagulation

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
after an injury, blood vessels immediately   constrict  
🗑
thrombin is an enzyme that is capable of   digesting protein  
🗑
integrity of small blood vessels, adequate supply of platelets, normal amounts of coagulation factors/inhibitors, & adequate levels of calcium ions are   five major factors effecting homeostasis  
🗑
regulating phospholipids, liberating vasoconstrictors, & plugging holes in vessel walls are all   functions of platlets  
🗑
certain medications can lower the concentration of __ __ in blood and prevent clotting   calcium ions  
🗑
abnormalities of small blood vessels, deficiencies of coagulation factors, liberation of thromboplastic material into circulation, & abnormalities of platelet function are   major categories of blood coagulation disturbance  
🗑
8 of the 13 coagulation factors are synthesized   in the liver  
🗑
characterized by abnormal reduction in the elements involved in blood clotting due to their use in widespread intravascular clotting   disseminated intravascular coagulation  
🗑
disseminated intravascular coagulation may be a secondary complication of any of numerous obstetrical, surgical, infectious, hemolytic, and neoplastic disorders, all of which activate in some way   the intrinsic pathway of coagulation  
🗑
sequence of reactions leading to fibrin formation, beginning with the contact activation of factor xii; followed by the sequential activation of factors xi and ix, which results in the activation of factor x   intrinsic pathway of coagulation  
🗑
activated factor X (factor Xa) initiates   the common pathway of coagulation  
🗑
is associated with low levels of coagulation factor VIII   classic hemophilia  
🗑
inadequate synthesis of vitamin K, inadequate uptake of vitamin K, severe liver damage can all indicate   disturbance of coagulation caused by a deficiency of prothrombin  
🗑
standard test for measuring capillaries and the hemostatic process involves   measuring bleeding time  
🗑
evaluation of thrombin time primarily   measures fibrinogen  
🗑
deficiencyl of platelets   thrombocytopenia  
🗑
are areas of hemorrhage caused by deficiencies of plasma coagulation factors   hematomas  
🗑
Hemophilia, being an X-linked congenital disease, only appears   in males  
🗑
small pinpoint hemorrhage caused by decreased platlets, abnormal platelet function, or capillary defect   petechia  
🗑
body's first line of defense when injured, it has a reflex vasocontriction, narrowing its caliber & facilitating closure of vessel by a blood clot   small blood vessels  
🗑
very small fragments of cytoplasm from megakaryotypes; life cycle is about 10 days   platlets  
🗑
activation of platlets starts the   blood coagulation process  
🗑
component formed during blood coagulation from interaction of platlets & plasma components or liberated from injured tissues   thromboplastin  
🗑
interaction of platlets/plasma coagulation factors; thromboplastin produced from substances in bloodstream   intrinsic system  
🗑
thromboplastin liberated from injured tissues; not derived from blood but from tissue outside of vascular compartment   extrinsic system  
🗑
activated at same time & interact to initiate blood clotting process; not completely independent   intrinsic & extrinsic system  
🗑
derivative of fibrinogen that polymerizes to form fibrin clot during blood coagulation   fibrin monomer  
🗑
a disturbance of blood coagulation as a result of activation of the coagulation mechanism & simultaneous clot lysis   disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome  
🗑
meshwork of protein threads that form during clotting of the blood   fibrin  
🗑
precursor in plasma converted into fibrin by thrombin during blood coagulation   fibrinogen  
🗑
test that measures overall efficiency of blood coagulation process   partial thromboplastin time (PTT) test  
🗑
test that measures that phase of coagulation mechanism after formation of thromboplastin   prothrombin time test  
🗑
coagulation factor formed by activation of prothrombin in process of blood coagulation   thrombin  
🗑
lab test measurement that determines concentration of fibrinogen in blood by determining blotting time of blood plasma after addition of thrombin   thrombin time test  
🗑
