  • Damaged blood vessel
    • Exposed tissue factor (attached to endothelium)
      • Binds to and activates factor VII
        • Activates factor X
          • Activates thrombin from prothrombin
            • Converts fibrinogen to fibrin monomer
              • Forms fibrin polymer
            • Activates intrinsic pathway (factors VIII, IX, XI and XII)
              • Amplifies and propagates signals
                • THROMBIN BURST
                  • Activates thrombin from prothrombin
                    • Converts fibrinogen to fibrin monomer
                      • Forms fibrin polymer
