  2. Coagulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

    The division of coagulation in two pathways is arbitrary, originating from laboratory tests in which clotting times were measured either after the clotting was initiated by glass, the intrinsic pathway; or clotting was initiated by thromboplastin (a mix of tissue factor and phospholipids), the extrinsic pathway. [31]

  3. Extrinsic pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrinsic_pathway

    The extrinsic pathway of apoptosis refers to cell death induced by external factors that activate the death-inducing signaling complex. The extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation is also known as the tissue factor pathway and refers to a cascade of enzymatic reactions resulting in blood clotting and is done with the addition of injured tissue ...

  4. Apoptosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apoptosis

    The intrinsic pathway is activated by intracellular signals generated when cells are stressed and depends on the release of proteins from the intermembrane space of mitochondria. [19] The extrinsic pathway is activated by extracellular ligands binding to cell-surface death receptors, which leads to the formation of the death-inducing signaling ...

  5. Programmed cell death - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_cell_death

    The extrinsic pathway can be activated in two ways. The first way is through fast ligan TNF-alpha binding or through a cytotoxic t-cell. The cytotoxic T-cell can attach itself to a membrane, facilitating the release of granzyme B. Granzyme B perforates the target cell membrane and in turn allows the release of perforin.

  6. Intrinsic pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_pathway

    The intrinsic pathway of apoptosis (also known as the mitochondrial pathway, intracellular pathway, or intrinsic apoptosis), cell death initiated by changes in mitochondria. The intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation (also known as the contact activation pathway), a cascade of enzymatic reactions resulting in blood clotting.

  7. Tissue factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_factor

    Thromboplastin, by itself, could activate the extrinsic coagulation pathway. When manipulated in the laboratory, a derivative could be created called partial thromboplastin, which was used to measure the intrinsic pathway. This test is called the aPTT, or activated partial thromboplastin time. It was not until much later that the subcomponents ...

  8. Inhibitor of apoptosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhibitor_of_apoptosis

    Apoptosis can be triggered through two main pathways; extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. The extrinsic pathway mostly involves extracellular signals triggering intracellular apoptosis mechanisms by binding to receptors in the cell membrane and sending signals from the outside of the cell. Intrinsic pathways involved internal cell signaling ...

  9. Coagulation testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation_testing

    Contact activation pathway; Prothrombin time test (or prothrombin test, INR, PT) – velocity of passage of the extrinsic blood coagulation pathway Poor plasma; Not sensitive to deficiency of intrinsic coagulation pathway factors; Highly specialized methods to reveal the alteration in concentration of separate factors.
