Document Summary
Limiting normal clot growth blood moves too fast to allow procoagulants factors interfere with normal clotting prothrombin iii - deactivates thrombin protein c - inhibits clotting factors heparin - inhibits thrombin; prevents adherence of platelets to injured site. Thromboembolytic disorders (undesirable clotting) thrombus - blood clot in normal blood vessel embolus -blood clot/gas bubble floating in blood. Tpa, streptokinase - can dissolve a clot aspirin - inhibits thromboxane formation heparin - inhibits thrombin & platelet deposit dicumarol - anticoagulant, blocks vitamin k. Inc. - now produces genetically engineered tpa and factor viii; patients do not need transfusions as often. Transfusion of blood salts) used whole blood transfusion - all cells and plasma; anticoagulants (citrate and oxalate packed red blood cells - most of the plasma has been removed prior to transfusion. Human blood groups agglutinogens - glycoproteins on the surface of blood cells; causes "agglutination" (clumping) Type type a type b type ab type o.
