Q

What are the two different pathways for clotting?

A
  • Extrinsic (Tissue factor pathway): Rapid response to tissue injury.
  • Intrinsic (Contact activation pathway): slower response, but quantitatively more significant.

25
1. Factor I (Fibrinogen) is a substrate for? 2. and a precursor for? 3. Is the largest? 4. What 2 forms is it converted to? 5. Polymerized clot forms when exposed to \_\_\_\_\_.
1. Thrombin 2. Fibrin 3. Largest molecular weight 4. Insoluble (fibrin that forms clot) Soluble (soluble peptides cleaved from fibrinogen to make fibrin) 5. Thrombin
26
What is Factor II (prothrombin) converted to? What does its converted form do?
Converted to Thrombin IIa (activated), which cleaves fibrinogen
27
What does Factor II (prothrombin) activate? (3)
* Cofactors, * protein C, * and Factor XIII
28
Factor III (thromboplastin) activates this factor when blood is exposed to ____ \_\_\_\_.
Factor VII, tissue fluids
29
What is Factor IV (ionized (active) calcium) needed for? (2)
* Activation of thromboplastin (factor III) * Conversion of prothrobin to thrombin
30
Factor V (proaccelerin or labile factor) speeds up which process?
prothrobrin to thrombin.
31
What factor is consumed during clotting?
V
32
20% of what factors are found on platelets?
V
33
Which factor is nonexisitent?
VI
34
What factor is activated by tissue thromboplastin (factor III) and activates Factor X?
Factor VII (proconvectin or stable factor)
35
What factor is needed for the cleavage of Factor X to Xa by IX?

41
What factor is essential to the intrinsic pathway, with a decreased frequency in the Jewish population, and bleeding tendencies vary?
Factor XI, a plasma thromboplastin antecedent
42
Known as Hageman factor, it is an activated contact factor that is activated by collagen. A deficiency may cause a prolonged PTT but not a bleeding problem, with a tendency toward thrombosis.

What are the 3 receptors on PLTs?
GpIb, GpIIb, and GpIIIa

Known as Fletcher factor, this is a surface contact activator.
Pre-kallikrein
47
Identify the process involved in the coagulation cascade from activation to stable clot formation? (4)
1. Vessel injury activates common pathway 2. results/leads to formation of fibrin clot 3. factor XIII stabilizes fibrin clot 4. Thrombin feedback activation of V, VIII, and XI amplify process.
48
What are Regulatory Inhibitors?

50
What is the Fibrinolytic System?
System that dissolves blood clots
51
Plasminogen is converted to plasmin which does what in the fibrinolytic process?
breaks down fibrin clot into fibrin products
52
What are the characteristics of inhibitors (3)
* Block activated coagulation factors, so widespread coag not occur. * Limit fibrinolysis and neutralize activated factors in circulation. * Each has a specific role.
