please can you show me the steps of blood clotting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The extrinsic route Tissue damage releases a substance, tissue thromboplastin, or factor III, which combines with Ca2+ ions and factor VIII, plus tissue phospholipids and enzymes from tissue damage, to activate Factor X, Factor X is the beginning of the common pathway. The intrinsic route Cascade involves factor XII and platelet phospholipids activating Factor XI, which with Ca2+ activates factor IX, factor IX combines with factor VIII, Ca2+ and platelet phospholipids to activate factor X Endothelial release of factor XII -platelet aggregation - changes in the platelet structure. Lipids, such as prostacyclins, released from the platelets initiate clotting cascade, -leads to factor X activation, just as in the extrinsic method. The final common pathway Factor X, factor V and phospholipids from the cell membranes of damaged tissue and from platelets together form prothrombin activator. The presence of several other factors is necessary, a couple of catalysts (factor IV which is Ca2+ ions, factor V which is a protein catalyst for the activation, and factor VII which is another protein catalyst). Prothrombin activator, and Ca2+, convert prothrombin to thrombin
