Question

This is about blood and cardiovascular system. I noticed there is one already posted on chegg but i need another example and no visuals please

I need help with following with anatomy/physio:

1. Provide a synopsis of the clotting cascade as well as how 2 anticoagulant medications affect it. Also, Provide a discussion regarding 2 ways the cardiovascular system works to control blood pressure. You can include such topics as cardiac output, fluid volume regulation, and peripheral resistance.

Make sure to provide a detailed explanation. Please follow the instructions.

Instructions:

must be at least 200 words.

Includes a synopsis of the clotting cascade (mechanism) including the intrinsic, extrinsic and common pathways.

Includes the role of clotting factors.

Includes 2 anticoagulant medications.

Includes a description of how the anticoagulant medications affect the clotting cascade.

Includes 2 mechanisms by which the body controls blood pressure.

Includes detailed descriptions about how the mechanisms work.

Includes examples of how the mechanisms raise low blood pressure and lower high blood pressure.

Please cite all sources of the info please

Explanation / Answer

Answer

Clotting cascade

Clotting cascade or coagualtion is the process of change in blood from liquid to gel in order to prevent blood loss following an injury. Platelets and coagulation factors works together inorder to form seal the damaged vessel. Platelets forms the primary seal over the injury. Certain coagulation factors works inorder to convert fibrinogen to fibrin.
There are two major pathways in the process of blood clotting. As soon as there is tissue trauma, extrinsic pathway gets activated. There is a transmembrane receptor called tissue thromboplastin that activates the inactive fator VII. Activated stable factor VII combines with calcium to activate Factor X.
Intrinsic pathway gets activated when blood cells comes in contact with collagen. This event activates factor XII i the presence of high-molecular kininogen. This activated factor XII activates factor IX in presence of calcium. Factor VIII and factor IX combines to activate factor X.
In both the pathways process leads to formation of facto X, which combines with factor V to produce prothrombin activator. It convets prothrombin into thrombin. Thrombin acts on fibrinogen to form fibrin. Factor XIII stabilizes the fibrin monomer to produce a fibrin meshwork (Clot).

Heparin is an anticoagulat drug activates antithrombin to block the clotting factor X. Thus, preventing the blood clot formation.
Warferin is an anticoagulat drug that inbits the production of vitamin K- dependant clotting factors. The deficiency of clotting factor leads to inhibition of clot formation.
