Discuss which clotting factors the PT and PTT test evaluate and whether each test measures the intrinsic or the extrinsic pathways.The extrinsic pathway is for the PT (Prothrombin Time) test which use factor 3 and 7. The intrinsic pathway is related to the PTT(Thromboplastin Time) test and uses factors 12,11,9 and 8. 2. Describe the common coagulation pathway.The most common pathway takes prothrombin factor 2 and makes thrombin. It also shows fibrinogen to fibrin and they use factors, 10, 5, and 13. 3.
