The extrinsic pathway of blood clotting involves more activation steps than the intrinsic pathway.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intrinsic pathway involves more activation steps and factors than the extrinsic pathway. The intrinsic pathway is initiated by the activation of factor XII, while the extrinsic pathway is initiated by the activation of tissue factor. However, both pathways ultimately lead to the common pathway of blood clotting.

The Extrinsic Pathway of Blood Clotting Involves More Activation Steps
