Question | Answer |
---|---|
Platelets are? | Cytoplasmic fragments of large cells - megakaryocytes. They act in clotting process. |
Platelet formation is regulated by hormone __. | thrombopoietin |
3 steps of hemostasis | (1) vascular spasma (2) platelet plug formation (3) coagulation |
Platelets stick to exposed collagen fibers due to __. | von Willebrand factor (VWF) synthesized by endothelial cells |
Serotonin in platelets __ vascular spasms. | enhance |
What is Thromboxane A2 & what does it do? | Short-lived prostaglandin derrivative - stimulates clotting - causing postive feedback cycle. |
Blood clotting is a __ feedback cycle. | positive |
Blood clotting or not depends on what balance? | Between clotting factors (procoagulants) & anticoagulants. |
Most clotting factors are made by __. | the liver |
Phase 1 of clotting involves? | Intrinsic or extrinsic pathways to Prothrombin Activator - slowest step |
In Phase 2 of clotting... | prothrombin activator catalyzes prothrombin into thrombin. |
Phase 3 of clotting... | Thrombin catalyzes polymerization of fibrinogen & fibrin mech is formed |
Platelets contain __ proteins. | contractile (actin & myosin) |
What is fibrinolysis? | Removal of unneeded clots when healing has occured. |
Plasmin is a __-digesting enzyme. | plasmin |
Name 2 mechanisms that limit clot growth. | (1) swift removal of clotting factors (2) inhibition of activated clotting factors |
For clotting to occur in the first place,the concentration of __ must reach certain critical levels. | procoagulants |
Heparin __ thrombin & the intrinsic pathway. | inhibits |
Name 2 antithrombic substances. | nitric oxide & prostacyclin |
Which vitamin when it reacts with oxygen is a potent anticoagulant? | Vitamin E |
Thromboembolic disorders result from? | Conditions that cause undesireable clot formation |
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) | Involves whidespread clotting & severe bleeding |
Asprin does what? | Antiprostaglandin drug that inhibits thromboxane A2 - blocks platelet aggregation & plug formation. |
__ is teh anticoagulant most used clinically. | heparin |
The anticoagulant warfin does what? | Interferes with Vitamin K in production of some procoagulants. |
DIC - Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation - occurs most commonly when? | Pregnancy complecation, result of septicemia, or incompativle blood transfusions. |
Thrombocytopenia | Deficient number of platelets that causes spontaneous bleeding from small blood vessels all over body. |
Vitamin K is required by liver to produce __. | Clotting factors |
Hemophilia A results from? | Deficiency of factor 8 - X-linked - prolonged bleeding |
Loss of more than 30% of blood volume results in __. | severe shock |
Agglutination | Antibodies act against foreign cells & cause them to clump - mismatched transfusion |
Hemolytic disease of the newborn | Rh incompatibility - so many RBCs are destroyed that fetus dies. |
hemostasis | Process that stops bleeding & prevents blood loss - including spasms in affected blood vessels, platelet plugs & clotting. |
2 ways blood clots form | intrinsic & extrinsic |
At least __ varieties of naturally occuring RBC antigens are common in humans. | 30 |
A person with neither A or B antigens is? | Group O - possess both anti-A & anti-B antibodies or agglutinins. |
There are __ different types of Rh agglutinogens. | 45 |
The 3 common Rh antigens are? | C, D & E |
Most americans are Rh __. | Postitive - carry the D antigen |
RhoGAM is a serum containing __. | anti-Rh agglutinins |
Transfusion reactions can result in circulating hemoglobin which __. | allows hemoglobin to pass freely into the kidney tubules & causes renal shutdown/failure. |
An agglutinin is a __. | plasma antibody |
A high eosinophil count may indicate? | a parasitic infection or allergic response |
SMAC is a __. | blood chemistry profile |
Intrinsic clotting mechanism | involves substances in blood itself - enzyme thrombin & protein fibrinogen makes fibrin thread that net blood cells & platelets into blood clot. |
Extrinsic clotting mechanism. | Triggered outside the blood itself - comes from damaged blood vessels & surrounding tissue - formation of thrombin. |
Thrombus | Clot that stays where it forms in an unbroken blood vessel |
Embolus | Clot that breaks free & circulates through blood stream. |
