Question
Intrinsic and Extrinsic process of clotting.

Answer

Intrinsic processExtrinsic process
1. The intrinsic pathway requires only clotting factors found within the blood itself – in particular, clotting factor XII (Hageman factor) from the platelets.1. The extrinsic pathway is initiated by factors external to the blood, in the tissues adjacent to damaged blood vessel – in particular, it is initiated by clotting factor III, thromoboplastin from the damaged tissues.
2. It is a longer, multistep process and it takes a little longer for the blood to clot by this mechanism.2. It involves fewer chemical reaction steps and produce a clot a little more quickly than the intrinsic pathway.
