Figure 3From: Blood flow controls coagulation onset via the positive feedback of factor VII activation by factor XaDependence of lagtime on activator size. (a) All simulations were carried out as in Fig. 1, except for the difference in activator size. Wall shear rate is 17s-1. The inset shows the dependence in a semi-reciprocal scale. (b) 1) normal case, activator size 500 μm; 2) activator size 500 μm, no convection of all enzymes except for factors IIa and Xa; 3) normal case, activator size 1000 μm.Back to article page
