| Secondary Hemostasis Steps |
|
Definition
tissue factor acts with platelet factors
thrombin is produced
thrombin converts to fibrinogen
fibrin deposists at site of injury |

Definition
regulatory proteins keep coagulation cascade at site of injury
coagulation cascade ceases
clot is dissolved through proteolysis |
