haemostasis:-

 haemostasis:-

  • stoppage of bleeding/arrest of bleeding
  • steps
    • vasoconstriction -because of release of serotonin
    • platelet plug fornation
    • blood coagulatin
  • blood in circulation do not clot
    • natural anticoagulant heparin -keeps fluid condition
    • intact endothelium of blood vesels
    • coagulation factors  are all in inactive forms in circulation but active form whenever blood exposed
    • velocity of blood
  • blood coagulation:-
    • physiological complex process where in fluidity of the blood is lost and becomes jelly like or semi solid and there by  reduces the blood loss from the injured vessel
  • steps-
    • formation of prothrombin activator 
      • intrinsic
      • extrinsic
    • conversion of prothrombin to thrombin
    • fibrinogen to fibrin
  • coagulation factors-
    • i)fibrinogen-plasma protein
    • ii)prothrombin
    • iii)thromboplastin
    • iv)calcium
    • v)proaccelerin
    • vii)proconverting-triggering factor for extrinsic  mechanism of blood coagulation
    • viii)anti hemophilic factor
    • ix)christmas factor
    • x)stuart power factor 
    • xi)plasma thromboplastin 
    • xii)Hagemans factor 
    • xiii)fibrin stabilising factor
  • methods of blood coagulation:-####
  • anticoagulants:-chemical substance that prevent coagulation
    • invitro eg:-heparin,citrates,oxalates
    • invivo  eg:- warfarin
  • heparin :-naturally occuring anti coagulant
    • synthesized from hepatocytes of liver
    • prevent blood coagulation
    • heparin can be used in both vivo and vitro
  • uses of anticoagulants:-
  • blood bank,in lab investigation,incase of renal failure,incase of open heart surgery
