Study Notes
Hemostasis Overview
- Hemostasis maintains a delicate balance between thrombus (clot) formation and dissolution under normal conditions.
- Imbalance can lead to excessive bleeding or thrombotic events (vaso-occlusion).
Stages of Hemostasis
-
Primary Hemostasis:
- Involves the immediate response of platelets and blood vessels to injury.
- Rapid platelet adhesion and aggregation form a temporary plug.
-
Secondary Hemostasis:
- Involves coagulation factors responding to vessel injury.
- Objective is to reinforce the platelet plug with fibrin.
Platelet Activity
- Active platelets contain contractile proteins (actin, myosin, thrombosthenin) aiding in clot retraction.
- High calcium content and rich ATP levels enhance energy supply during hemostatic processes.
Platelet Adhesion Process
- Platelets adhere to exposed collagen beneath damaged endothelial cells in blood vessel walls.
- This interaction is crucial for initiating the formation of a platelet plug.
Formation of Platelet Plug
- Aggregation of platelets at the injury site is essential for stopping bleeding.
- Exposed collagen serves as an attractant for platelets, facilitating their collection and activation.
