Sample Question from Fundamentals of Hemostasis, presented by MediaLab

An Introduction to the Fundamentals of Coagulation

As we will discover later in the course, there are other variables which impact the effectiveness of hemostatic mechanisms as well, such as acquired disease states, and inborn metabolic pathway defects.

For now, however, our focus will be on the mechanisms, processes, and components which work together to achieve coagulation, or the cessation of blood flow from a damaged vessel.

Note: The terms coagulation and hemostasis are used interchangeably throughout this course.
