Coagulation Cascade | Intrinsic and Extrinsic Pathway

PREVIOUS VIDEO | Platelet Plug Formation :

Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which bl00d changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a bl00d clot. It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of bl00d loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair. The mechanism of coagulation involves activation, adhesion and aggregation of platelets along with deposition and maturation of fibrin. Disorders of coagulation are disease states which can result in bleeding (hemorrhage or bruising) or obstructive clotting (thrombosis).

Coagulation begins almost instantly after an injury to the bl00d vessel has damaged the endothelium lining the bl00d vessel. Exposure of bl00d to the subendothelial space initiates two processes: changes in platelets, and the exposure of subendothelial tissue factor to plasma Factor VII, which ultimately leads to fibrin formation. Platelets immediately form a plug at the site of injury; this is called primary hemostasis. Secondary hemostasis occurs simultaneously: Additional coagulation factors or clotting factors beyond Factor VII (listed below) respond in a complex cascade to form fibrin strands, which strengthen the platelet plug.

Coagulation is highly conserved throughout biology; in all mammals, coagulation involves both a cellular (platelet) and a protein (coagulation factor) component.The system in humans has been the most extensively researched and is the best understood.

The coagulation cascade of secondary hemostasis has two initial pathways which lead to fibrin formation. These are the contact activation pathway (also known as the intrinsic pathway), and the tissue factor pathway (also known as the extrinsic pathway), which both lead to the same fundamental reactions that produce fibrin. It was previously thought that the two pathways of coagulation cascade were of equal importance, but it is now known that the primary pathway for the initiation of bl00d coagulation is the tissue factor (extrinsic) pathway. The pathways are a series of reactions, in which a zymogen (inactive enzyme precursor) of a serine protease and its glycoprotein co-factor are activated to become active components that then catalyze the next reaction in the cascade, ultimately resulting in cross-linked fibrin. Coagulation factors are generally indicated by Roman numerals, with a lowercase a appended to indicate an active form.

The coagulation factors are generally serine proteases (enzymes), which act by cleaving downstream proteins. The exceptions are tissue factor, FV, FVIII, FXIII. Tissue factor, FV and FVIII are glycoproteins, and Factor XIII is a transglutaminase.[7] The coagulation factors circulate as inactive zymogens. The coagulation cascade is therefore classically divided into three pathways. The tissue factor and contact activation pathways both activate the "final common pathway" of factor X, thrombin and fibrin.

Thank you for going straight to the point, i was beginning to get even more confused with some videos i watched earlier

[raymondlonginos]

I loved it, this is exactly wha it was looking for without the extra fluff - thank you my dude

[shivamprajapati]

Within very short time...u gives enough information required..so thnks

شكرا اخي تحياتي من مصر ❤ جزاك الله خير

[pariweshbashyal]

This is a fantastic overview of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, thank you bro
i try it to understand from long time i did it now thanks

[s.m.elinadhal]

Finally a simplified vedio..Thanks a lot

[nahidsiddiqui]

Thanks sir after watching this video I feel it is very easy question ..

[sanaansari]

Thank you very much.. ..
I really need it for my exams preparation..
Good job...

[kaisbhat]

Thnks for understanding us in simple way

[DrAnkur-cetb]

If it is not acting in sequence, why do we need to remember in sequence 1 to 13

[captainlux]

How to easily remeber in what order which clotting factor activates the next? Fantastic video, thank you!

[tasmiaamanayshe]

Sooo much helpful!! Thank u soo soo much
