Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Factor VII forms an active complex with tissue factor to initiate the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade.  The extrinsic pathway is initiated at the site of injury in response to the release of tissue factor (factor III) and thus, is also known as the tissue factor pathway. Tissue factor is a cofactor in the factor VIIa-catalyzed activation of factor X.
