hemostasis
|
|
why when you cut yourself you do not bleed to death

|
|

|
3 stages
|
|
where are rbc's made?
|
bone marrow
|
|
the most immature cell in the megakaryocytic series is
|
the megakaryoblast
|
|
the term that represents the most immature cell of any series is
|
blast
|
|
blasts consist of
|
nucleus and cytoplasm
|
|
what makes the mekakaryocytic series different from any other series?
|
as the series proceeds, you go from small cells to larger cells
|
|
the final stage of the megakaryocytic cell series is
|
the megakaryocyte
|
|
how many microns is the megakaryblast in diameter?
|
50
|
|
promegakaryocyte is how many microns in diameter?
|
80
|
|
the cell in the bone marrow that is produced by this series?
|
megakaryocyte
|
|
the largest cell in the bone marrow is?
|
the megakaryocyte
|
|
how long does it take to go from from producing megakaryblast to having platelets enter circulation?
|
5 days
|
|
these plaetelets then go into circulation, and circulate for how many days, unless needed first?
|
8-10 days
|
|
how many platelets does one megakaryocyte produce?
|
2k-7k platelets
|
|
how many platelets are in circulation, on average?
|
150k-450k platelets
|
|
what percentage of platelets are actually in circulation?
|
80% of platelets
|
|
if 80% of platelets are circulating, where are the other 20%?
|
pooled in the spleen
|
|
how many zones are there in a platelet?
|
3
|
|
what is the first zone of the platelet?
|
the peripheral zone
|
|
what is the difference between adhersion and aggregation?
|
aggregation is platelet to platelet, adhesion is to something other than self
|
|
why do we want adhesion, when talking about platelets?
|
so the platelets bind to the vessel wall
|
|
the outermost zone is the
|
exterior coat, the outer most coat of the platelet
|
|
the outer most part of the platelet, that is very smooth, but receptors will come to its surface when you are cut.
|
exterior coat
|
|
what is the purpose of the receptor IIbIIIa ?
|
binds to fibrinogen
|
|
receptors allow platelets to
|
aggregate
|
|
IbIX is the
|
vonwilirims receptor
|
|
under the external coat is the
|
unit membrane
|
|
where is pfIII (platelet factor 3) made?
|
in the unit membrane
|
|
what membrane is below the unit membrane?
|
the subunit membrane
|
|
wwhat is the subunit membrane made of?
|
submembrane fillaments
|
|
submembrane filiments allow the platelet
|
to form itself into any form that it needs to , to give it a ragged edge when it wants to adhere to crooked structures.
|
|
the canal system that allows transport from the middle to the external membrane?
|
the canicular system
|
|
the zone where the microtubule system of the platelets are, it is what gives structure to the platelet, it is involved in support and contraction.
|
the sol gel zone
|
|
the zone with the dense bodies and alpha granules
|
the organell zone
|
|
the important chemical we should know that is in the dense bodies
|
ADP
|
|
ADP is a
|
potent aggretory agent
|
|
the one chemical we should know of in the alpha granules
|
B thromboglobulin
|
|
inhibits prostacyclin
|
B thromboglobulin
|
|
when platelets aggregate, the organelles...
|
release their contient. Alpha granuls and dense bodies release B thrombogobulin and ADP.
|
|
the organelles release their chemicals through the...
|
canicular system
|
|
the release 1 reaction is
|
when dense bodies release their chemicals, of importance ADP
|
|
the release 2 reaction is
|
when alpha granules release their contents, of importance Beta thromboglobulin
|
|
prostocyclin does what
|
inhibits aggregation of platelets
|
|
prostocyclin is made when
|
the vessel wall is normal
|
|
what is the reaction that occurs on the surface when ADP is released?
|
the membrane phospholipds, via phospholipase, creats arachidonic acid, which creats prostaglandin endoperoxides via cyclooxygenase, prostaglandin endoperoxides then creates thromboxane via thrbomboxane synthetase
|
|
the reaction on the surfaces when ADP is released goes from:
|
membrane phospholipid to arachidonic acid, to prostaglandin endoperoxide to thromboxane
|
|
in platelets phospholipase
|
creats arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids
|
|
in platelets, cyclooxygenase
|
creates prostaglandin endoperoxides from arachidonic acid
|
|
thromboxanesynthetase creates
|
thromboxane from prostaglandin endoperoxide
|
|
so adp causes the formation of what chemicals, which leads to aggregation
|
thromboxane
|
|
refering to platelets, thromboxane is a
|
even more potent platelet aggretory element than ADP
|
|
asprin keeps platelets from aggregating by
|
stoping cyclooxygenase
|
|
in platelets, ADP is activated by the
|
contortions that happen with the cut
|
|
how many ingredients does it take to make fibrin
|

|
|
factor 8
|

|
|
which factors are vitamin k dependent
|
2 (prothrombin), 7 (stable factor), 9 (christmas factor), 10 (stuart power),
|
|
which factors are not synthesized in the liver?
|
factor 3 (thromboblastin;vessel wall), factor 4 (caclium;bone), 8 is partially (VIIIC)
|
|
when the tissue is cut, what is released from the vessel wall
|
factor 3, thrombblastin is released
|
