Chapter 18.4, Problem 20WDL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic pathway of blood clotting cascade.
Concept introduction:
Platelets, which are also called as thrombocytes are the membrane-bound cell fragments. They do not have a nucleus and are not considered as true cells. The main function of platelets is maintaining the hemostasis. It is a process by which bleeding was stopped by clotting of blood at the time of injury or cut. The initiation of blood clotting is a cascade of processes which occurs by two mechanisms: intrinsic and extrinsic pathway.

What is the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic activation of clotting? What factor is activated by both pathways?
Examine one of the consequences of branching with a simple model shown in the figure.
Assume that there are two blood-flow circuits, which are identical except that one of the circuits has a single vessel, whereas the other has two identical vessels in parallel.
a.If the resistance of a single vessel is R, what is the overall resistance of the two vessels in parallel?
b.If each of the circuits carries the same flow rate, which has the larger pressure drop? Comment on the result.
(a) Define hemostasis. (b) List the three major phases of coagulation. Explain what initiates each phase and what the phase accomplishes. (c) In what general way do the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms of clotting differ? (d) Which ion is essential to virtually all stages of coagulation?
