In the Activation of Clotting Factors

question 51

Multiple Choice

In the activation of clotting factors

• A) endothelial cells provide the phospholipid component in the intrinsic pathway of coagulation.
• B) prothrombin molecules do not bind to phospholipids in the clotting activation process.
• C) roughly, equal concentrations of plasma clotting factors participate in the coagulation cascade mechanism.
• D) contact with a glass surface activates prothrombin (factor II).
• E) usually, during activation of clotting factors, a one-chain molecule is cleaved into a two-chain molecule with the chains held together by S-S bonds.

Definitions:

Exponentially Distributed

Describes a process where events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate, typically used in the analysis of time between events.

Queue Capacity

The maximum number of elements or units that a queue structure can hold or process before reaching its limit.

Poisson Process

A statistical process modeling the occurrence of events in a fixed interval of time or space if these events happen with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.

Mean Arrival Rate

The average rate at which entities arrive in a system per unit of time, commonly used in queueing theory.
