coagulation, fibrinolytic and kinin systems
¢ state the role of thrombin in
— blood coagulation
— fibrinolysis

Physiology: Haemostasis
Learning Activity:
Study plate 1:
* Indentify substance A and pathways B and C.
Study plate 2:
* What are TPL and PL? Are they involved in the
processes shown in plate 1?
* Thrombin also activates two factors of the intrinsic
system. What are these factors?
Study plates 2 and 3:
+ List the actions of thrombin.
Study plates 2 and 4:
* Which coagulation pathway is involved in activating the
kinin system? MMS: Haemostasis-NW-Aug08
