An extrinsic property is not essential or inherent to the subject that is being characterized. For example, mass is an intrinsic property of any physical object , whereas weight is an extrinsic property that depends on the strength of the gravitational field in which the object is placed.
Intrinsic muscles have their origin in the part of the body that they act on, and are contained within that part. [17] Extrinsic muscles have their origin outside of the part of the body that they act on. [18] Examples are the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue, and those of the hand.
Intrinsics or intrinsic may refer to: Intrinsic and extrinsic properties, in science and engineering; Intrinsic motivation in psychology; Intrinsic muscle, in anatomy; Intrinsic function, a function in a programming language that is dealt with specially by a compiler; X Toolkit Intrinsics, a library; Intrinsic factor (biology)
The intrinsic properties of something depend only on that thing; whereas the extrinsic properties of something may depend, wholly or partly, on something else. If something has an intrinsic property, then so does any perfect duplicate of that thing; whereas duplicates situated in different surroundings will differ in their extrinsic properties.
Extrinsic tenase complex is made up of tissue factor, factor VII, and Ca 2+ as an activating ion. Intrinsic tenase complex contains the active factor IX (IXa), its cofactor factor VIII (VIIIa), the substrate (factor X), and they are activated by negatively charged surfaces (such as glass, active platelet membrane, sometimes cell membrane of ...
Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot.It results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.
Note that extrinsic noise can affect levels and types of intrinsic noise: [19] for example, extrinsic differences in the mitochondrial content of cells lead, through differences in ATP levels, to some cells transcribing faster than others, affecting the rates of gene expression and the magnitude of intrinsic noise across the population.

Peripheral membrane proteins, or extrinsic membrane proteins, [1] are membrane proteins that adhere only temporarily to the biological membrane with which they are associated. These proteins attach to integral membrane proteins , or penetrate the peripheral regions of the lipid bilayer .
