The activation of the coagulation cascade by antiphospholipid antibodies is a self-limiting process.

Platelets change shape from smooth discs to spiky spheres when injured vessels release the contents of their granules, which include factors that lead to platelet adhesion and activation.

The coagulation cascade is triggered by the exposure of tissue factor to the growing platelet plug, leading to the formation of a fibrin mesh that stabilizes the plug.

Platelet activation is primarily driven by the release of von Willebrand factor (vWF) from injured vessels, which directly activates platelets and promotes their adhesion to the site of injury.

The formation of a platelet plug is a complex process that involves multiple steps, including platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation, and is primarily mediated by the release of specific factors from platelets themselves.

The primary function of the coagulation cascade is to activate platelets and promote their adhesion to the site of injury, ultimately leading to the formation of a stable platelet plug.

The coagulation cascade is a complex series of enzymatic reactions that ultimately result in the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, which forms a mesh that traps platelets and red blood cells, stabilizing the clot.

The activation of the coagulation cascade is primarily triggered by the release of specific factors from platelets themselves, which initiate a chain reaction leading to the formation of a fibrin mesh.

The coagulation cascade involves a complex interplay of various clotting factors, including calcium, factor V, and adenosine diphosphate (ADP), which work together to promote the formation of a stable clot.
