Coagulation Factors
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Factor (I): Helps with the formation of a clot. | Fibrinogen |
| Factor (II): Coverts into thrombin during coag. cascade. | Prothrombin |
| Factor (III): Activates Factor VII when exposed to tissue fluids. | Tissue Thromboplastin |
| Factor (IV): Assists in the activation of other factors. | Ionized Calcium |
| Factor (V): Accelerates the conversion of Prothrombin to Thrombin. | Proaccelerin |
| Factor (VI) | Not assigned |
| Factor (VII): Intrinsic factor activated by Factor III. | Proconvertin |
| Factor (VIII): Passed on from father to son, loss of this factor leads to inability to clot. | Antihemophilic A |
| Factor (IX): Other names for this factor include Antihemophilic B and plasma thromboplastin component. | Christmas Factor |
| Factor (X): Start of Common Pathway | Stuart Prower |
| Factor (XI): Start of Intrinsic Pathway | Plasma Thromboplastin Antecedent |
| Factor (XII): Activated when a foreign substance is in the body. | Hageman Factor A.K.A. "Contact Factor" |
| Factor (XIII): Helps to further stabilize the clot. | Fibrin Stabilizing Factor(FSF) |
| High molecular weight kininogen(HMWK) is also known as what Factor? | Fitzgerald Factor |
| Prekallikren is also known as what Factor? | Fletcher Factor |
| Factor V Leiden: this mutated gene leads to what? | Increase in clot formation which results in a degradation of Factor (V), by Protein C. |
