- Following tissue injury, clot formation starts within
15 to 20 seconds if the injury is severe and within 1 to 2 minutes,
if the injury is slight.
|
- Coagulation starts through two pathways:
|
| |
INTRINSIC PATHWAY |
| |
EXTRINSIC PATHWAY |
- These two pathways converge and the final product is
the conversion of prothrombin which in turn converts fibrinogen into
fibrin.
