normal platelet count
150 to 400 thousand
where are platelets stored?
spleen
megakarocytes
baby platelets
where is thrombopoietin?
liver, kidneys, smooth muscle and bone marrow
steps of hemostasis (5)
Vessel spasm (temp.)- reduces blood flow
Formation of platelet plug- platlets adhere to broken site and aggregate there
blood coagulation- activation of intrinsic and extrinsic paths, fibrinogen to fibrin
clot retraction- proteins pull platelets together, clot gets smaller
clot dissolution
what contributes to vasoconstriction in 1st line of defense?
thromboxane A2
what factor contributes to platelet adherance to injured ares??
von willebrand's factor
what causes platelets to be sticky
adenosine diphosphate
platelet limiting functions
keeps clotting under control
prostacyclin (limits plts)
nitric oxide (vasodilator)
what helps convert fibrinogen to fibrin?
thrombin
what pathways is released first?
extrinsic pathway
what pathway is most powerful but slow?
intrinsic pathway
what factor causes prothrombin to convert to thrombin and thrombin to convert fibrinogen to fibrin?
factor x
coagulation requires what 2 nutrients?
vitamin K and calcium
what test measures heparin?
aPtt
what test mesures warfarin (coumadin)?
PT
which pathway does heparin help?
intrinsic
what is the antidote for heparin?

what pathway does coumadin help?
extrinsic
what is the normal time for bleeding?
2 to 8 minutes
thrombocythemia
lots of platelets
primary- tumors
secondary- smoking, elevated lipids, cholesterol, DM, stress, ovulation
thrombolytic drugs end in?
