The clotting process (coagulation). - Biology Forums Gallery
Extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of the coagulation system.
The intrinsic or contact activation pathway is activated by trauma or infection, which causes inflammatory proteins to be released in the circulation. The main role of the extrinsic pathway is to initiate coagulation during hemostasis. In the presence of calcium, the activated forms of factors X and V catalyze the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. #nursing #medschool #haematology #coagulation #medical #pathophysiology
