-
factor I, fibrinogen
a protein present in blood plasma; converts to fibrin when blood clots
-
factor II, prothrombin
a protein in blood plasma that is the inactive precursor of thrombin
-
factor III, thrombokinase, thromboplastin
an enzyme liberated from blood platelets that converts prothrombin into thrombin as blood starts to clot
-
calcium ion, factor IV
ion of calcium; a factor in the clotting of blood
-
accelerator factor, factor V, proaccelerin, prothrombin accelerator
a coagulation factor
-
cothromboplastin, factor VII, proconvertin, stable factor
a coagulation factor formed in the kidney under the influence of vitamin K
-
Hemofil, antihaemophilic factor, antihaemophilic globulin, antihemophilic factor, antihemophilic globulin, factor VIII
a coagulation factor (trade name Hemofil) whose absence is associated with hemophilia A
-
Christmas factor, factor IX
coagulation factor whose absence is associated with hemophilia B
-
factor X, prothrombinase
coagulation factor that is converted to an enzyme that converts prothrombin to thrombin in a reaction that depends on calcium ions and other coagulation factors
-
factor XI, plasma thromboplastin antecedent
coagulation factor whose deficiency results in a hemorrhagic tendency
-
Hageman factor, factor XII
coagulation factor whose deficiency results in prolongation of clotting time of venous blood
-
factor XIII, fibrinase
in the clotting of blood thrombin catalyzes factor XIII into its active form (fibrinase) which causes fibrin to form a stable clot
