Q

initiation of blood coagulation cascade in vivo is what

A

tissue factor

17
Q

prolonged aPTT or PT suggests what

A

def of a coagulation factor in int or ext pathway

18
Q

how do we measure ext pathway (blood clotting test)

just give its name

how about for int

Prothrombin time

int = PTT (partial PT)
