What does Hemostatsis mean?

-Any process that stops bleeding


-Coagulation is hemostasis that occurs due to physiologic clotting of blood


-Complex relationship between substances that promote clot formation and either inhibit coagulation or dissolve a formed clot

What are the three coagulation cascade pathways?

-Extrinsic pathway


-Intrinsic Pathway


What is Extrinsic pathway?

What do Intrinsic or extrinsic pathways lead to?

-Formation of Fibrin clot
