The biochemistry of coagulation.
This article describes the hemostatic process following vascular injury, which involves an integrated response of the blood vessel wall, blood platelets, and plasma blood clotting factors, and the way in which these processes relate to one another. A number of diagrams are presented that diagram the component processes.
