define: physiological process of blood clotting and bleeding, repair of tissue
hemostasis
4 major events in hemostasis following loss of vascular integrity
vascular constriction, platelet activation, formation of fibrin clot, clot lysis and wound healing
what protein is primarily responsible for stimualting platelet clumping
fibrinogen
what do platelets release upon activation?

plasmin
what cells make platelets? Where?
megakaryocytes in marrow in venous sinuses
stages in thrombopoiesis
megakaryoblast, megakaryocyte, platelet
life span of platelet
10 days
define: humoral factor produced when platelet levels drop
thrombopoietin (tpo)
fcn of thrombopoietin (tpo)
stimulates maturation of megakaryocyctes and production of platelets
what granules do platelets have
dense granules, alpha granules, lamba granules
what do dense granules contain
serotonin(vasoconstrictor), Ca, ADP, ATP
what do alpha granules contain
fibrinogen, growth factors
what are lamba granules similar to
lysosomes
what is required of platelets in order for hemostasis to occur
adhere to exposed collagen, release contents of granules, aggregate
what mediates adhesion of platelets to collagen and stabilizes coagualtion factor VIII
von Willebrand factor (vWF)
define; complex multimeric glycoprotein produced by megakaryocytes and endothelial cells
von Willebrand factor (vWF)
where are von Willebrand factors stored
alpha granules of platelets, Weibel-Palade bodies in endothelial cells
platelets are rich in receptors for
ADP, thrombin, epinephrine, serotonin, collagen
what does release of ADP by platelets stimulate?
inc overall cascation cascade, modifies platelet membrane to adhere glycoproteins
what does initiation of signal transduction cascade entail
induction by specific receptors on surface of platelets, adherance to collagen and release of intracellular Ca leads to activation of PLA2
what exactly happens when thrombin receptor is inducted on surface of platelets? (cascade…_
thrombin receptor coupled to G protein→act PLC-γ→hydrolyzes PIP2→forms IP3, DAG→release of intracellular Ca, act protein kinase C
what happens in initiation of signal transduction cascade after release of Ca→PLA2?
PLA2→hydrolyze membrane phospholipids→liberation of arachidonic acid→inc release of thromboxane(TXA2)
3 general steps of signal transduction cascade
induction of specific receptors, changes in platelet morphology during activation, granule contents released/activating more platelets
how exactly is platelet morphology changed?
release of Ca→myosin light chain kinase(MLCK)→phosphorylates light chain of myosin and actin→altered platelet morphology→platelets interact to form clot
what granuel contents are released in signal transduction cascade
platelet factor 3,4, fibrinogen, Ca, K, catecholamines
what allows control of coagulation by positive and negative regulators thru different synthetase enzymes
thromboxane(platelets) vs prostaglanding I2(endothelial cells)
what is the inhibitory pathway for platelet aggregation? Upregulation of adenylate cyclase cuases….
inc in cAMP→turns on cAMP dep kinases→phosphorylates proteins→down regulates platelet fcns
what is important in the activation of coagulation cascade besides activaiton of platelets?
activated platelet surface phospholipids
what is the goal of clotting cascade
convert fibrinogen from soluble plasma protein to insoluble matric of cross linked fibrin
what is the result of the intrinsic pathway
formaiton of red thrombus/clot in response ot abnormal vessel wall. NO tissue injury
result of extrinsic pathway
fibrin clot formaiton in response to TISSUE injury
what are the coagulation components specific ot intrinsic pathway
prekallikrein, kininogen proteins, clotting factors VIII, IX, XI, XII
when does initiation of intrinsic pathway occur?
when prekallikrein, kininogen factor XI, XII exposed to - charged surface:contact phase
what is the primary stimulus for contact phase
exposure of collagen in wall of vessel to coagulation proteins in plasma
what does assembly of contact phase components result in
prekallikrein→kallikrein→act factors XII→factor XIIa→release of bradykinin(vasodilator), factor XI→Xia
what does the presence of Ca allow factor XI to activate in intrinsic clotting cascade
factor XI activates factor IX to IXa
fcn of factor Ixa
component of complex(tenase) that activates factor Xa
what is a cofactor in clotting cascade
factor VIIIa
what limits extene of tenase complex formation/down regulates coagualtion cascade?
thrombin-inactivates factor VIIIa
where do intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation cascades converge?
activated factor Xa
how is extrinsic pathway initiated?
site of injury in response to release of tissue factor (III) from damaged cells(thromboplastin)
where does inhibition of extrinsic pathway occur?
tissue factor-factor VIIa--Ca+2--Xa complex
what is activated in the common pathway?
prothrombin→(factor Xa, Va,Ca, PI,PS)→thrombin→converts fibrinogen→fibrin
how are extrinsic and intrinsic pathways linked
ability of enzymes to cross talk-factor Xa to factor VII, tissue factor and factor VIIa→IX
what do factors II, VII, IX, X require to undergo essentail modification in ER
vitamin K dependendt
what posttranslational modificaiton do factors II, VII, IX, X undergo?
