39
Q

During Intrinsic pathway, XII + Surface contact =

A

XIIa

40
Q

Extrinsic pathway begins with the release of an intracellular lipoprotein, tissue thromboblastin (FACTOR III) by vascular injury outside the vessel. In the presence of Calcium, tissue thromboplastin activates what ?

A

VII
The thromboblastin factor VIIa complex then activates factor X from the common pathway & factor IX from the intrinsic pathway.

41
Q

In the Common Pathway,

Xa + (Va, phospholipids, & Calcium) =

A

Prothrombin activator complex which activates prothrombin (Factor II) to Thrombin

Q

In the Common Pathway, Thrombin + Fibrinogen (I) =

A

Long strands of Fibrin

43
Q

In the Common Pathway, Thrombin also activates what other factors?

A

Factor XIII (fibrin stabilizing factor)
Factor XIIIa &
Calcium
forming an insoluble meshwork that is incorporated into the platelet plug.
