factors specific to intrinsic pathway
12, 11, 9, 8
factors specific to extrinsic pathway
factor 7, PT, TF(3)
the intrinsic pathway is longer so its measured by
PTT (more letters)
the extrinsic pathway is shorter so its measured by
PT (fewer letters)
the extrinsic pathway looks like a gun. theyre used in what and fired with what
used in war so warfarin inhibits this pathway and you shoot with your trigger finger so TF (tissue factor) activates this pathway
factors in final common pathway
10, 5, 2, 1, 13
which factor is missing with hemophilia A?
factor 8
what is the primary goal of both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways
to produce prothrombin activator
