What factor is fibrin (the final product of coagulation cascade) cross linked by?
Factor XIII
What is the coagulation cascade activated by?
Tissue factor (thromboplastin) when vessel is damaged
What does tissue factor bind/complex to? What does this complex activate?
- Factor VII and VIIa2. Factors IX and X

What factors does thrombin activate?
- V to Va-
