The four physiologic processes that interrelate to limit blood loss
Formed elements of the blood various colony-stimulating factors (CSF)
G, granulocyte
M, macrophage
System for Naming Blood-Clotting Factors
I
Fibrinogen
II
Prothrombin
III
Thromboplastin
IV
Calcium
V
Proaccelerin, labile factor, accelerator globulin
VII
Proconvertin, SPCA, stable factor
VIII
Antihemophilic factor (AHF), antihemophilic factor A, antihemophilic globulin (AHG)
IX
Plasma thromboplastic component (PTC), Christmas factor, antihemophilic factor B
X
Stuart–Prower factor
XI
Plasma thromboplastin antecedent (PTA), antihemophilic factor C
XII
Hageman factor, glass factor
XIII
Fibrin-stabilizing factor, Laki–Lorand factor
HMW-K
High-molecular-weight kininogen, Fitzgerald factor
Pre-Ka
Prekallikrein, Fletcher factor
Ka
Kallikrein
PL
Platelet phospholipid
Factor VI is not a separate entity and has been dropped.
Schematic of the coagulation system
PK, prekallikrein;
HK, HMW kininogen
Formation of a provisional matrix and the healing process
Schematic representation of the formation of a provisional matrix and the different events that characterize the healing process. CTGF = connective tissue growth factor; ECM = extracellular matrix; FGF = fibroblast growth factor; IL-1 = interleukin 1; MMP = matrix metalloproteinase; PDGF = platelet-derived growth factor; TGF= transforming growth factor- ; VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor
Major reactions of blood coagulation
Shown are interactions among proteins of the "extrinsic" (tissue factor and factor VII), "intrinsic" (factors IX and VIII), and "common" (factors X, V, and II) coagulation pathways that are important in vivo. Boxes enclose the coagulation factor zymogens (indicated by Roman numerals) and the rounded boxes represent the active
