Primary haemostasis I: ● Capillaries and larger blood vessels react to injury by an immediate local temporary vasoconstriction (a reflex nervous mechanism) to reduce the amount of blood lost.
Secundary haemostasis:Blood coagulation factors are necessary to stop bleeding definitely. • I: fibrinogen • II: prothrombin • III: tissue thromboplastin (tissue factor, TF) • IV: Ca++ • V: proaccelerin • VI: - • VII: proconvertin • VIII: antihemophilic factor (AHF) • IX: Christmas factor (plasma thromboplastin component) • X: Stuart factor • XI: plasma thromboplastin antecedent (PTA) • XII: Hageman factor (contact factor) • XIII: fibrin stabilizing factor (Laki-Lorand factor)
Process- primary haemostasis • In a normal individual, coagulation is initiated within 20 seconds after an injury occurs to the blood vessel damaging the endothelial cells. • Platelets immediately form a haemostatic plug at the site of injury. This is called primary haemostasis.
Secondary haemostasis • Secondary haemostasis then follows—plasma components called coagulation factors respond (in a complex cascade) to form fibrin strands which strengthen the platelet plug. • Contrary to popular belief, coagulation from a cut on the skin is not initiated by air or drying out, but by platelets adhering to and activated by collagen in the blood vessel endothelium. • The activated platelets then release the contents of their granules, these contain a variety of substances that stimulate further platelet activation and enhance the haemostatic process.
Coagulation cascade • The coagulation cascade of secondary hemostasis has two pathways, the Contact Activation pathway (formerly known as the Intrinsic Pathway) • And the Tissue Factor pathway (formerly known as the Extrinsic pathway) that lead to fibrin formation. • It was previously thought that the coagulation cascade consisted of two pathways of equal importance joined to a common pathway. • It is now known that the primary pathway for the initiation of blood coagulation is the Tissue Factor 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

Coagulation made easy The PTT Pathway The PT Pathway X The PT and the PTT pathway meet at factor X, because “X” marks the spot
Coagulation made easy The PTT Pathway The PT Pathway V X Factor V is a cofactor for factor X, and you can remember this because V fits into the notch of the X
Prothrombin Thrombin Coagulation made easy The PTT Pathway The PT Pathway V X Factor Xa converts prothrombin (Factor II) into thrombin, the most important enzyme on the planet
Prothrombin Fibrinogen Thrombin Fibrin Coagulation made easy The PTT Pathway The PT Pathway V X Thrombin, among other things, converts the soluble molecule fibrinogen into a solid fibrin clot
Prothrombin Fibrinogen Thrombin Fibrin Coagulation made easy - the PT The PT Pathway PT has one less letter than PTT, and PT values are shorter than PTT values, because the pathway is shorter. It means that the PT pathway is also shorter and this is lucky, so the lucky PT pathway uses lucky factor 7 to activate factor X 7 V X
