Question

What Is the stimulus for Blood Clotting?

Answer 1

Blood clotting:

1. Clotting of blood refers to the process of forming a clot or thrombus in order to prevent excessive blood loss from the body.
2. Platelets and fibrin in the blood combine to form a gel-like substance. Platelets are critical components of blood clotting.
3. Blood clotting usually occurs when a blood vessel is damaged. Platelets begin to accumulate at the vessel's cut edges and release chemicals that attract more platelets.
4. When a blood vessel is injured, blood clotting/coagulation is an important process that prevents excessive bleeding.

The following are some key events in blood clotting:

1. Prothrombin is released by wounds to blood vessels and platelets.
2. After that, prothrombin is converted to thrombin
3. The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin by thrombin.
4. A trap forms around the wound, which is controlled by RBC and platelets via fibrin fibers.
5. The bleeding has stopped.
