When these insults lead to damage of the extensive vascular network of the lung, activation of the coagulation cascade ensures that there is minimal The concept of a coagulation cascade describes the biochemical interactions of the coagulation factors, but it is flawed as a model of the in vivo hemostatic

The convergence between complement and the clotting system extends far beyond the chemical nature of the complement and coagulation components, both of which Heparin This combines with antithrombin-III, and force a conformational change in the compound, so that it acts at various stages of the clotting cascade to
