Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of fibrinogen in the process of hemostasis?

  • Fibrinogen constricts blood vessels to reduce blood flow
  • Fibrinogen serves as an enzyme to activate the coagulation cascade
  • Fibrinogen promotes platelet adherence to the blood vessel wall
  • Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin, which acts as the glue to stop bleeding (correct)
  • Which phase of hemostasis involves the formation of an insoluble fibrin clot?

  • Primary hemostasis
  • Platelet aggregation
  • Platelet plug formation
  • Secondary hemostasis (correct)
  • What is the main cause of thrombosis?

  • Platelet adherence to the blood vessel wall
  • Constriction of blood vessels
  • Formation of a platelet plug
  • Formation of a clot in a blood vessel (correct)

    Study Notes

    Hemostasis Process

    • Fibrinogen plays a primary role in hemostasis by converting into fibrin, which forms a clot to stop bleeding.

    Phases of Hemostasis

    • The coagulation phase involves the formation of an insoluble fibrin clot, which is essential for hemostasis.

    Thrombosis

    • The main cause of thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) inside a blood vessel, which can obstruct blood flow.

    Vasoconstriction

    • Vasoconstriction plays a crucial role in hemostasis by reducing blood flow to the injured area, thereby minimizing blood loss.

    Fibrin Digestion

    • Plasmin is responsible for the continual process of fibrin digestion, which helps to dissolve blood clots.

    Heparin Sulfate

    • Heparin sulfate, present in the blood vessel, inhibits thrombin and prevents excessive blood clotting.

    Tissue Factor

    • The endothelium, the innermost layer of the blood vessel, contains tissue factor that activates coagulation and fibrin formation.

    Platelet Function

    • The primary function of platelets during the stoppage of bleeding is to form a platelet plug, which is reinforced by fibrin to create a stable clot.
