Hemostasis | prevention of blood loss following damage to a vessel |
blood clotting involves | platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation |
thrombus | platelet plug and fibrin |
normal blood vessels have a what preventing platelets from adhearing | endothelial layer |
platelets activate acording to what hormones | ADP, seratonin, thromboxaine A2 |
thrombosis | pathological formation of a thrombus in the absece of bleeding |
arterial thrombus | "white" thrombus -made up of platelets and leukocytes associated with rupture of artheroscrlotic plaque in artery, very few red blood cells |
Venous thrombus | associated wtih stasis of blood, platelets only a minor component |
Drugs afect hemostasis and thrombosis by affecting | platelet function, blood coagulation, and fibrin degredation |
platelet adhesion | von willebrand factor on sub-endothelium binds to GP1b receptors on platelet |
platelet activation | secretion of granule contents, (ADP, 5-HT), synthesis of thomboxane A2, these increase the expression of GP2b and GP3a receptors |
