What does Hemostatsis mean? |
-Any process that stops bleeding -Coagulation is hemostasis that occurs due to physiologic clotting of blood -Complex relationship between substances that promote clot formation and either inhibit coagulation or dissolve a formed clot |
|
What are the three coagulation cascade pathways? |
-Extrinsic pathway -Intrinsic Pathway
|
|
What is Extrinsic pathway? |
-Triggered by external trauma -Activated when blood leaks into tissue spaces -Factor 7 makes pathway quicker
|
|
What is Intrinsic Pathway? |
-Slower pathway -Activated in response to injury -Involves factors 6,7,8,9 -Expose epithelial and collagen |
|
What do Intrinsic or extrinsic pathways lead to? |
-Formation of Fibrin clot -Injured cells release prothrombin activator -Prothrombin activator changes prothrombin to thrombin -Thrombin changes fibrinogen to fibrin -Fibrin forms insoluble web over injured area to stop blood flow (Normal clotting takes about 6 min) |

|
Fibrinolysis is initiated by the release of _______. |
