| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
