Discuss the process of blood coagulation and clotting. What is the mechanism by which blood clots dissolve? Describe how antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, low-molecular-weight heparins, thrombolytic agents, antihemophilic agents, and hemostatic agents affect blood clotting.
Homework Answers
ANSWER- Process of blood coagulation and clotting
1)PLATELET ADHESION-: Intially platelets are stick to the damaged part of blood vessels due to the absent of anti platelet agents (nitric oxide, prostacyclin & ADP dephosphatase) and presence of all Von- willi brand factor (from damaged endothelial cell)
2) PLATELET RELEASE REACTION-: Due to the adhesion platelet become active and their characterstics change , they extend finger like projection and interact with one another.
Platelet release Serotonin, Thromboxin A2, ADP and Calcium ion this process is called platelet release reaction.
3) PLATELET AGGREGATION- Serotonin and thromboxin A2 are strong vasoconstrictor and platelet aggregator.
Due to the serotonin and thromboxin A2 other platelets are stick on the damaged site. Due to the extensive gathering of the platelet form a mass of platelet is called platelet plug.
Platelet plug is very effective for microinjury or micropuncture.
COAGULATION / BLOOD CLOTTING-
Normally blood remain in the liquid form as long as it present into the blood vessels. When blood comes out from the vessels it form a gel like substance is called CLOT.
Clot is consist of insoluble fibrin thread where blood cells are trapped.
Blood clotting is a series of chemical reaction in which several clotting factors are used.

Case Study, Chapter 48, Drugs Affecting Blood Coagulation A nursing student is reviewing notes on drugs that affect blood coagulation. The drugs that affect blood coagulation involve a complex process that involves vasoconstriction, platelet clumping or aggregation, and a cascade of clotting factors produced in the liver that eventually react to break down fibrogen into insoluble fibrin threads. The nursing student prepares a medication card for anticoagulants and drugs used to control bleeding. (Learning Objectives 2, 4, and 5) What...

Which is a coagulation test that evaluates the extrinsic coagulation pathway? What is the common pathway of coagulation? How does the endothelium prevent blood clotting? What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways? What are the 13 blood clotting factors? What happens during blood clotting?

An important step in the blood coagulation process is the enzymatic conversion of the protein prothrombin to the lower-molecular-weight clotting agent, thrombin, via cleavage of a portion of the prothrombin polypeptide. Prothrombin → thrombin + cleaved peptide The values of s20,w and D20,w for prothrombin have been found to be 4.85S and 4.93×10^−11 m2s−1 , respectively. The diffusion coefficient for thrombin is 8.76×10^−11 m2s−1. Assuming that both thrombin and prothrombin are unhydrated spheres with vB=0.70ml g−1, calculate the molecular weight...
Describe how you would design the constructs for this experiment in which you repair the mutations in WAS, conferring normal immune system function and blood clotting.
In humans, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is characterized by abnormal immune system function (immune deficiency) and a reduced ability to form blood clots. Mutations in a single gene, WAS, gene confer Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. You study it and use CRISPR-Cas9. Describe how you would design the constructs for this experiment in which you repair the mutations in WAS, conferring normal immune system function and blood clotting. Include all relevant constructs you’d need to make, and what model organism you would use

Pharmacology: Case Study- Blood Clot 3. What accounts for the efficacy of eptifibatide (a platelet GPlb-Illa antagonist) in inhibiting platelet aggregation? 4. When the expanding hematoma was observed, could any measure other than stopping the eptifibatide have been used to reverse the effect of this agent? If low-molecular-weight heparin had been used instead of unfractionated heparin, how would the monitoring of the patient's coagulation status during the procedure have been affected? 5.
