Q

Two reaction pathways lead to coagulation:

A

extrinsic and intrinsic

117
Q

what is extrinsic clotting mechanism?

A

triggered when blood contacts damaged BV walls (come from sources other than the blood)

118
Q

what is intrinsic clotting mechanism?

A

uses clotting factors found in the blood itself, like when platelets adhere to atherosclerotic plaques

119
Q

In most cases of bleeding, both mechanisms operate __________
