Cards

Term
Prothrombin Group
Definition
Includes:
-Prothrombin (F2)
-Factor 7
-Factor 9
-Factor 10
Produced in the liver
Dependent on vitamin K
Term
Fibrinogen Group
Definition
Includes:
-Fibrinogen
-Factor 5
-Factor 8
-Factor 13
Activated by thrombin during coagulation
F5 and F8 are co-factors that aid in activation
Term
Contact Group
Definition
Includes:
-Factor 11
-Factor 12
-Prekallikrin (PK)
-High Molecular Weight Kininogen (HMWK or HK)
Term
Fibrin Formation
Definition
3 pathways: Intrinsic, Extrinsic, Common
Term
Intrinsic Pathway
Definition
Consists of enzymes and proteins in the plasma
Tested for using the PTT Test
Starts with F7
-F7 is activated by HWMK to become F7a
-F7a activates F11
-F11 activates F9
Term
Intrinsic Pathway Factors
Definition
F12
PK
HK
F11
F9
F8
Von-Willebrand's Factor
Term
Extrinsic Pathway
Definition
Enzymes, co-factors, activators, and tissue factors found in the plasma
Tested for by using the prothrombin test (PT)
Occurs when tissue factor acts on F7
-F7 activates F9
Term
Extrinsic Pathway Factors
Definition
Tissue Factor
F7
Term
Common Pathway
Definition
The intrinsic and extrinsic pathways come together to form fibrin
F9 activates F10
-F10 activates prothrombin to become thrombin
-Thrombin activates fibrinogen to become fibrin
Term
Common Pathway Factors
Definition
F10
F5
Prothrombin
Fibrinogen
F13
