Prothrombin time (PT) measures the activity of coagulation factors in the tissue factor pathway of the coagulation cascade.
Blood coagulation can occur either through an intrinsic or extrinsic pathway. The first step in either pathway begins with the production of Factor X,which marks the common pathway of coagulation.
Intrinsic pathway of coagulation (measured as PTT in laboratories).
extrinsic pathway of coagulation the mechanism that produces fibrin following tissue injury, beginning with formation of an activated complex between tissue factor and factor VII and leading to activation of factor X, inducing the reactions of the common pathway of coagulation.intrinsic pathway of coagulation a sequence of reactions leading to fibrin formation, beginning with the contact activation of factor XII, and resulting in the activation of factor X to initiate the common pathway of coagulation.
The prothrombin time (PT) test measures how long it takes for blood to clot. This test evaluates the coagulation factors involved in the extrinsic pathway.
The Tannic acid helps to form a blood clot by contracting blood vessels. Amr ^_^Actually, blood clotting is the result of a "cascade" effect of different factors in the blood. Once activated they "domino" -- one activates the next in the chain -- until the blood clots. There are two pathways to blood clotting (coagulation) -- an intrinsic pathway and an extrinsic (external) pathway. Tannic acid acts to activate the extrinsic pathway and set the factor "cascade" in motion to clot the blood.
A coagulation cascade is caused by the tissue factor pathway. You can learn more about this online at the Wikipedia. Once on the page, type "Coagulation" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the information.
neurons fromthe symathetic system (SNS) go to to almost every organ and gland within the body. The parasympathetic system (SAM) at the same time as the sympathetic system (SNS) is activated. The SAM system alerts the animal (whatever it it is) through the release of adrenaline into the bloodstream and together these two systems make up the SYMPATHOMEDULLARY PATHWAY.
transcription factor
Alph-1-antitrypsin, produced in the liver, is a protease inhibitor. It inhibits Factor XIa, thrombin, kallikrein, plasmin, and tPA in the coagulation pathway. It is the major inhibitor of FXIa.
In the blood coagulation pathway, thrombin acts to convert factor XI to XIa, VIII to VIIIa, V to Va, and fibrinogen to fibrin.
