Summary Introduction

To review:

The goals of the intrinsic pathway and the extrinsic pathway.

Introduction:

During the process of intrinsic pathway, the platelets rush to the damaged location and start to aggregate into a group, thus causing clotting and preventing bleeding. On the other hand, the process of the external pathway is totally different from that of the internal pathway because the clotting of blood takes place due to the aggregation of platelets at the damaged location.
