Explanation

Question 6 of 27

1

Why does factor XI deficiency (haemophilia C) usually only cause mild bleeding?

Select one of the following:

Explanation

Question 7 of 27

1

When might deficiencies in factor XI result in massive bleeding?

Select one of the following:

Why are animals with significant hepatic disease not only at risk of haemorrhage but also at risk of thrombosis?

Select one or more of the following:
