Term

The process of making clots when they are needed and removing clots when they are not

Definition
Has an open canalicular system that connects the outer surface to the inner surface
Has a dense tubular system that synthesizes prostaglandin and thromboxin
Term
Primary Hemostasis
Definition
The vessel wall is damaged
Platelets attract to the exposed collagen fibers
Platelets adhere to the surface with the help of von-willebrand factor, and prostaglandin 1b (Factor 9)
The platelets aggregate together using fibrinogen and secrete their granular content
Term
Seconday Hemostasis
Definition
The formation of fibrin
Involves the stimulation of Zymogens
Growth factors stimulate muscle cells and fibroblasts to replace the cells that were damaged
Term
Coagulation Factors
Definition
Aid in secondary hemostasis
3 Groups: Prothrombin Group, Fibrinogen Group, Contact Group
Term
Prothrombin Group
Definition
Includes:
-Prothrombin (Factor 2)
-Factor 7
-Factor 9
-Factor 10
Produced in the liver
Dependent on Vitamin K
Term
Vitamin K
Definition
Found in leafy-green vegetables, liver, and fish
Structurally resembles prothrombin
Blocked by Warfarin (Coumadin)
Term
Warfarin
Definition
aka Coumadin
Lowers the factors in the prothombin group
Blocks vitamin K
Term
Fibrinogen Group
Definition
Includes:
-Fibrinogen
-Factor 8
-Factor 5
-Factor 13
Activated by thrombin during coagulation
FV and FVIII are cofactors that aid in activation
Term
Contact Group
Definition
Includes:
-Factor 11
-Factor 12
-Prekallikrin (PK)
-High Molecular Weight Kininogen (HMWK or HK)
Term
Fibrin Formation
Definition
3 Pathways: Intrinsic, Extrinsic, and Common
Term
Intrinsic Pathway
Definition
Consists of enzymes and proteins in the plasma
Tested for with the PTT Test
Starts with FVII
-Activated by HMWK to become FVIIa
-FVIIa activates FXI which activated FIX
Includes FXII, PK, HMWK, FXI, FIX, FVIII, and Von-Willebrand Factor
Term
Extrinsic Pathway
Definition
Enzymes, co-factors, activators, and tissue factors found in the plasma
Tested for with the Prothrombin Test (PT Test)
Caused by Tissue Factor acting on FVII which activates on FIX
Includes Tissue Factor and FVII
Term
Common Pathway
Definition
The other two pathways come together to form fibrin
FIX activates FX
-FX activates prothrombin
-Prothombin becomes thrombin
-Thrombin activates fibrinogen
-Fibrinogen becomes fibrin
Includes: FX, FV, Prothrombin, Fibrinogen, FXIII
Term
Fibrinolysis

The process of removing a clot
Involves different factors that are used to break down a fibrin clot
Main component is the activation of Plasminogen and Plasmin
