Pregunta 1
Pregunta
The vascular endothelium protects platelets from subendothelial aggregating substances i.e. collagen
Pregunta 2
Pregunta
Vasoconstriction around injured site helps coagulation how?
Respuesta
-
Reduced blood flow decreases pressure and loss of blood
-
Reduced blood flow brings coagulation factors into tissue contact more readily
-
Reduced blood flow decreases wall diameter, decreasing size of breach
Pregunta 3
Pregunta
Why is Fibrinolysis necessary?
Respuesta
-
It prevents inappropriate extension of the fibrin plug
-
Prevents clotting from damaging nearby cell
-
Prevents clotting in case of infected blood

Respuesta
-
Intact endothelium
-
Breached endothelium
-

Respuesta
-

-
Antithrombomodulin
-
Antithrombin
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
Thrombomodulin works in the free flowing blood
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
Both thrombin and thrombomodulin work on the endothelial cell surface

Pregunta
What is the role of thrombomodulin?
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
Excess thrombin binds to thrombomodulin on intact cells, which allows it to be altered

Alteration in blood components i.e. pregnancy
-
Circulatory stasis i.e. venous problems
-
Artificial surfaces i.e. a STENT
Pregunta 21
