Intrinsic Pathway steps
1. Factor XII --> XIIa
2. XIIa activates prekallikrein to kallikrein
3. XIIa converts XI --> XIa (requires HMWK)
4. XIa converts IX --> IXa (with Ca2+)
5. IXa + VIIIa + Ca2+ binds to platelets to activate X --> Xa

Common Pathway
Xa + Factor Va + Ca2+ + phospholipid = Prothrombin (Factor II) --> Thrombin (Factor IIa)
