When a tissue is injured,the process of clotting begins.Which statement is true about that process?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of clotting is dependent on both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. Intrinsic pathway is activated within the injured blood vessel while the extrinsic pathway is activated by the release of tissue factor from the injured tissue. Both pathways ultimately lead to the formation of fibrin clot.

Note: None of the other options are true. Thrombin actually forms fibrin from fibrinogen, potassium ions do not play a crucial role in clotting, and fibrinogen does not form fibrin.
