The following episode provides a general overview of the clotting cascade. Focus is given to understanding terms such as clotting factors, zymogens, enzymes, cofactors, and proteases. Emphasis is given to understanding the extrinsic, intrinsic, and common pathway. Below are a list of helpful visual explanations of the clotting cascade I have found beneficial over the years. As always I appreciate any and all feedback on how to better this resource.
