- Concept of antigen and epitope
- Pg 460-462 (read for concept and mcqs)
- Antibody formation by plasma cells

- Fig 37.3 (imp)
- Extrinsic and Intrinsic pathway (v.v.imp), difference btw them (along with figures)Anticoagulants for clinical use
- Intravascular anticoagulants
- Role of Calcium
- Blood coagulation test
- Conditions that cause excessive bleeding (Hemophilia, Thrombocytopenia, Vitamin K) (vimp)
- (Must do this chapter from Guyton)
Points To Remember: (viva /mcqs)
- Stimulus for Intrinsic pathway:
- Internal damage
- Glass contact
- Blood trauma
- Test tube coagulation
- Stimulus for Extrinsic pathway:
- Surgery
- Inflammation
- Shave cut
- Knife cut
- Vitamin K dependent CF -> 2,7,9,10
- Bleeding Time increase in >>> Thrombocytopenia
- Clotting time increase in. >>> Hemophilia
- Purpura (Tendency of spontaneous hemorrhage beneath skin, internal organs.
Types of Purpura:
Thrombocytopenic purpura
- Multiple subcutaneous hemorrhage
- Poor constriction of blood vessel
- Dec platelet count
- Clot retraction deficiency
Non-Thrombocytopenia
- Functionally defective platelet (Thrombasthenia)
- Platelet count normal
- Due to allergy
- Infection
