Summary The most important facts and conceptions regarding the mechanism of blood coagulation, supplemented by our own as yet unpublished findings, are represented in a schematically simplified Table. The process of co-agulation is subdivided into five phases, i.e. the prephase (vasoconstriction, agglutination), the first principal phase (formation of thromboplastin), the second principal phase (formation of thrombin), the third principal phase (formation of fibrin), as well as a post-phase (retraction, fibrinolysis). In this new scheme, recently discovered clotting factors and the various inhibitors could easily be incorporated into the classical picture of Morawitz. The scheme is explained briefly.
