Which pathway begins with the activation of factor X by the intrinsic and/or extrinsic pathway? -
verified answer Common
Which portion of factor VIII is the smallest portion, called the procoagulant protein or anti-
hemophilic portion, and acts as a co-factor for factor IXa to activate factor X in the intrinsic pathway?
