Q

Where IF and EF meet

A

Common pathway

17
Q

Common pathway is composed of what factors?

A

FX, FV, FII (prothrombin), FI (fibrinogen)

18
Q

FXa binds with its cofactor FVa in the presence of calcium and phospholipid to form the Xa:Va complex, which will then convert

A

Prothrombin (FII) to thrombin (FIIa)

19
Q

Thrombin, in the presence of calcium activates

A
  • Fibrinogen to fibrin polymer (unstabilized)
  • FIIa Activates FXIII to FXIIIa (fibrin stabilizing factor)
20
Q

FXIIIa > Stabilize the unstable fibrin polymer which will result to

A

Cross-linked fibrin

21
Q
  • Occurs on tissue factor-expressing cells and produces 3% to 5% of the total thrombin generated
  • Happens in extrinsic pathway
A

Initiation phase

22
Q

Refers to extrinsic tenase complex formation and generation of small amounts of __

A

FXa, FIXa, and thrombin

23
Q

1%-2% - normally present in blood in activated form

A

FVIIa

24
Q

Provide tissue factor

A

Fibroblast & other sub-endothelial cells

25
Q

Cofactor to FVIIa

A

Tissue Factor

26
Q

Activates low levels of both FIX and FX

A

TF:VIIa

27
Q
  • Occurs on the platelets, which produces 95% or more of the total thrombin
  • Happens in intrinsic pathway
A

Propagation Phase

28
Q

Activated by thrombin in the initiation phase bind to platelet membranes and become receptors for FXa and FIXa

A

Cofactors FVa and FVIIa

29
Q

Generated in the initiation phase binds to FVIIIa on the platelet membrane to form the intrinsic tenase complex IXa:VIIIa

A

FIXa

30
Q

Activates prothrombin and generates a burst of thrombin

A

FXa binds to FVa to form the prothrombinase complex

31
Q
  • Cleaves fibrinogen into a fibrin clot
  • Activates factor XIII to stabilize the clot
  • Binds to thrombomodulin to activate the protein C control pathway
  • Activates TAFI to inhibit fibrinolysis
A

Thrombin (FIIa)

32
Q
  • Cleaves fibrinogen into a fibrin clot
  • Activates factor XIII to stabilize the clot
  • Binds to thrombomodulin to activate the protein C control pathway
  • Activates TAFI to inhibit fibrinolysis
A

Thrombin (FIIa)
