Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thrombin does not activate tissue thromboplastin, which is part of the extrinsic clotting pathway. Instead, tissue thromboplastin activates the intrinsic clotting pathway by converting factor X to activated factor X. Thrombin plays a role in the final common pathway of clot formation by converting fibrinogen to fibrin, activating factor XIII to stabilize the fibrin clot, enhancing platelet aggregation, and acting in positive-feedback fashion to facilitate its own formation.
