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.
