Hemostasis is the biochemical process
that protects the body from loss of blood
after vascular damage.

Fig.1. Generation of thrombin via the extrinsic system. (TF = tissue fct ;
PT = prothrombin ; = prothrombin complex ; = F X activating
complex).
2. The intrinsic system :
a. Contains all the elements necessary for
clotting.
b. Instead of tissue thromboplastin, the lipid
moiety in this system is PF3.
c. The contact factors (F XII, XI, prekallikrein
/PK, High Molecular-Weight Kininogen/
HMWK) are activated by exposure
negatively charged glass surfaces & other
substances (ellagic acid,uric acid crystals,
skin, collagen & antibody complexes)
d. - F XIIa in the presence of PK and HMWK
activates F XI.
- F XIa activates IX, which in a complex
with VIII, lipid (PF3) and Calcium
activates F X.
- F Xa, V and lipid (PF3) comprise
intrinsic prothrombinase. (fig. 2).

Fig. 4. Linkage between extrinsic and intrinsic systems. Several interaction
occur at various levels of the two systems. Primary among these is the
ability of TF and F VIIa and F IX.
Fibrin stabilization
Final stage of coagulation
F XIII, a transaminase, is activated by throm-
bin and converts the hydrogen-bonded fibrin
strands into more stable, covalent peptide
bonds. (Fig.5)
Screening test :
Deficiency of F XIIIa results in clots that
dissolve in 5M urea or 1% monochloro-
acetic acid.
