Hello everyone! =D
Clotting factors are substances in the blood that act in sequence to stop bleeding by forming a clot.
Here's a mnemonic to help you remember them ^___^
I Fibrinogen
II Prothrombin
III Tissue factor
IV Calcium
V Proaccelerin, Labile factor
VI Unassigned – Old name of Factor Va
VII Stable factor, proconvertin
VIII Antihemophilic factor A
IX Antihemophilic factor B or Christmas factor
X Stuart-Prower factor
XI Plasma thromboplastin antecedent
XII Hageman factor
XIII Fibrin-stabilizing factor
Mnemonics:
"Fresher's Party Tonight, Come Let's Sing And Call Seniors, Please Have Fun"
"Foolish People Try Climbing Long Slopes After Christmas, Some People Have Fallen"
"Fit Pants, Tight Collars, Loose American Shirts Are Cool Says Pretty Heroine Farah"
My favorite mnemonic is the pretty heroine one.. I drew it too :P
Sunglasses = Cool ;)
Here is how you draw the coagulation cascade:
Intrinsic pathway is activated by subendothelial collagen.
Extrinsic pathway is activated by tissue thromboplastin.
Another mnemonic:
1972 WEPT
1972: Factors 10, 9, 7 & 2
W: Warfarin
E: Extrinsic
PT: Prothrombin Time
Factors X, IX, VII, II are Vitamin K dependent.
Warfarin acts on extrinsic pathway, prothrombin time used to check it.
If you know this, the other one is the other one.
Heparin acts on intrinsic pathway, partial thromboplastin time is used to check it.
Here is one for hemophilia.
Remember in hemophilia, bleeding time is normal, PTT is increased.
That's all! ^_^
Hope you remember :)
May you always stay awesome <3 p="">

thanks!!
ReplyDeleteReally very helpful
ReplyDeleteThank you ^__^
DeleteThanks for sharing it with us
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome
DeleteThanks! By the way, do factors III and IV help out?
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome :)
DeleteYes! Calcium (factor III) is required for coagulation factors to bind to phospholipid. That's why blood banks use a chelating agent to bind the calcium in donated blood so the blood will not clot in the bag.
The complex of tissue factor with factor VIIa activates factor IX and catalyzes the conversion of the inactive protease factor X into the active protease factor Xa.
Tissue factor is factor III you mean Factor IV?
Deletei love this site
ReplyDeleteThank you <3
Deletei visited so many sites cx 3rd year studies are volatile soo i found ths site best one love u author so so muchh
ReplyDeleteOmg best compliment ever. Rock em studies, love! :D
DeleteNever had a chance to memorize these factors easy till I ran into this site. Thanks. Much help. The Pretty Heroine Farrah saves the day. Thank you again. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome. Happy to help.
DeleteCould you please tell me what is included in the coagulation cascade picture that you posted? I can't view it :s thanks
ReplyDeleteAwh :(
DeleteFactor 10 is the target X..
Start from 12, 11, 9, 8 is the intrinsic pathway..
5 x 2 x 1 = 10 is the common pathway..
and 7 is the extrinsic pathway!
would u please elaborate it .. im still not getting your point .. im 1st year student so new to it .. please explain me how you say it?
ReplyDeleteIt's a mnemonic sweet heart. Can you pin point exactly which part did you not get?
Deleteawesome and thnx for makeing it easy

ReplyDeleteSO SO APPRECIATIVE YOU ARE!! YOU'RE WELCOME!! :D
DeleteSimply awesome! You are great! Thank you so very much for posting this. I was getting nuts (well a little more than usual lol!) trying to figure it out the way to remember all these concepts. Love the drawings, that's exactly the way I study too. But going over so many things fades away my artistic side! Please if you have any other posting keep sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for the compliments.
DeleteHaha I know, it does overwhelm you. I recommend linking a hobby to studies to keep things interesting.
I'll try my best. No problem, sweetheart.
Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome.
DeleteHI :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to ask about the studying groups is there any possibility that i participate ?
Hey!

Thrombin Time ...??
ReplyDeleteYes, what about it?
DeleteThankuuuuu you're a life-saver! Bless you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blessings and appreciation <3
Deletelove you guys
ReplyDeleteLove you too
DeleteVery helpful....thanku soo much:-)
DeleteNo problem :)
DeleteGreat mnemonics!!! #Creativity+Science=π
