triggered when collagen is exposed on the wall of the BV

-all components are in the blood (how blood clots in a test tube)

54
Q

activation of the extrinsic or tissue factor pathway to coagulation

A
  • tissue factor is expressed on the surface of cells outside of but near blood vessels
  • factor VII normally resides in the blood
  • TF binding to factor VII activates it
  • factor VIIa binds and cleaves factor X (interacts w V to convert prothrombin to thrombin; thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin)
55
Q

activation of the intrinsic pathway to coagulation

A
  • factor XII, high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK), and prekallikrein bind to collage on the wall of the damaged blood vessel
  • factors XIIa cleaves prekallikrein to kallikrein and factor XI to XIa
  • kallikrein activates more factor XII molecules to XIIa
  • HMWK achors kallikrein and factor XIa to damaged surface
  • factor XIa cleaves HMWK, diffuses into circulation and activated factor IX
  • *factor IXa binds factor VIIIA on the surface of platelets and activates factor X
56
Q

common pathway

A

extrinsic and intrinsic converge
