Cards

Term
Periperal Zone components
Definition
Glycocalyx, pm, membrane lipids and proteins, Glycoproteins IIb/IIIa
Term
What are the plasma proteins in the glycocalyx/surface layer of the peripheral zone?
Definition
factor 5, von willebrand factor, fibrinogen
Term
What is factor 5?
Definition
a coagulation factor that makes fibrin form
Term
What is von willebrand factor?
Definition
it mediates the attachment of proteins
Term
what is glycoprotein Ib?
Definition
It is and integral protein and a receptor for von willebrand factor. it also binds ristocetin and thrombin and associates with actin on the inner leaflet of the membrane
Term
what is glycoproteins IIb/IIIa?
Definition
receptor after activation that binds fibrin and is required for platelet aggregation to form a plug.
Term
what does the structural zone consist of and what is it's purpose?
Definition
to maintain the discoid shape. it consists of a microtubule and protein network
Term
What does the membrane system consist of?
Definition

Open canicular system

and

dense tubular system

Term

Describe: the open canicular system

Definition
cannals that allow granules to exit that functions in storage and secretion. Is derived from the surface of the promegakaryocyte.
Term
Describe: the Dense Tubular system
Definition
it helps actin polymerize and originates from the smooth ER of the promegakaryocyte's. It is the storage site of calcium
Term

What are the steps of repair of vessel injury?

Definition

1. Vasoconstriction/ Adhesion

2. Activation/shape change

3. Aggregation of platelets

4. Secretion

5. Plug Formation

6. stabilization of the clot

Term
Explain how the shape of platelets changes after activation(adhesion) and the significance of the change?
Definition

actin the polymerized and change shape of the platelet by forming pseudopods.

The arm growth is to hang onto other platelets to form a cohesive clot.

Term

How does aggregation of platelets occur?

Definition

a few seconds after vessel infury the platelets are stabilized by internaland external fibrinogen (fibrin strands).

 

----->fibrin platelet plug forms

Term
What is plasminogen converted to plasmin by in the fibrinolytic pathway?
Definition

High molecular weight kininogens

kallikrein

protein C (which is activated by protein S)

Term
What does Plasmin deactivate or degrade?
Definition

Fibrin

activated Factor 12

activated Factor 8

activated Factor 5

Term
What is thrombosis?
Definition
clotting
Term
What are the 5 important pathway of glucose metabolism?
Definition

1. Embden-Meyerhof PW

2. Hexose Monophosphate PW

3. Methemoglobin Reductase PW

4. Rapaport-Leubering PW

5. Pyruvate Kinase

Term
What is the purpose of the HEXOSE MONOPHOSPHATE PW?
Definition
It uses G-6-PD to made NADPH which helps with redox reactions to bring hemoglobin from an oxidized state back to a reduced state so disulfide bridges don't fall apart.
Term
What is the purpose of the METHEMOGLOBIN REDUCTASE PW?
Definition
Hemoglobin reversal where methyl groups that were attached to hemoglobin from oxygen damage are taken off.
Term
What is the purpose of the RAPAPORT-LUEBERING PW?
Definition

To produce 2,3-BPG which stabilized hemoglobin when it's not bound to oxygen making it easier for hemoglobin to give up oxygen in active tissues.

Term
Why do we want to draw venous blood?
Definition
easy to collect, not painful, damage to a vein isn't very traumatic
Term
what three veins in the arm are commonly used to take blood?
Definition

1. median cubital--middle

2. cephalic---thumb side of hand

3. bascilic--inside of arm

Term
What is the Wright Stain composed of?
Definition
Eosin and methylene blue
Term
What do B-lymphocytes do?
Definition

present antigens for old agents and make antibodies, plasma cells

Term
What do T-cells do?
Definition
they direct immune response
Term
What do monocytes do?
Definition
they are precursors to dendritic cell (an antibody presenting cell in tissues) or are precursors to macrophages (antigen presenting cell)
Term
What enzymes do neutrophils contain in their granules?
Definition
lysozyme, lactoferrin, myeloperoxidase, collagenase, plasminogen, protease
Term
What do eosinophils contain what do they do, and what color do they look, why?
Definition

peroxidases that are basic so they look red

Kill Helminth Parasites

Term
What do basophils do and what's in their granules?
Definition
mediate allergic response, hitamine
Term
What causes pluripotent sc to mature into specific cell types?
Definition
Colony Stimulating Factors
Term
At what stage do myeloid cells commit to a specific granulocyte?
Definition
at myelocytes---bc they have secondary granules
Term
How long do Neutrophils live?
Definition
9-10 days from blast to death
Term

Life span of Eosinophils?

Definition
stored in BM for several days ----> t(0.5)=18 hours ---->6 days in tissues
