please answer with explanation of question number 32
Q.32.) Choose the correct option having a group of factors which activate stuart factor in blood plasma, for the clotting of blood.
(A) IX + VIII + IV + Phospholipid
(B) XI + IX + V + Phospholipid
(C) X + VIII + IV + Phospholipid
(D) XI + XII + XIII + Phospholipid

Dear Student,

The correct answer is (C).
The blood coagulation factor X is also called Stuart factor. It acts as a common coagulation factor for both intrinsic and extrinsic pathway. When a tissue cell is damaged, an extrinsic pathway of coagulation becomes activated and releases tissue factor. In the presence of calcium and phospholipids, the clotting factor VII is converted into VIIa. This leads to the formation of VIIa/tissue factor complex. This causes activation of Stuart factor or factor X. Factor X along with the calcium, tissue factor and factor V causes the activation of prothrombin activator.
