Question

What happens if conducting tubes of circulatory system develops a leak? State in brief, how could this be avoided?

Answer 1

Leak in conducting tubes:

1. Leakage in the conducting tubes circulatory system would lead to a loss of pressure which would reduce the efficiency of the pumping system.
2. So, there would be decrease in blood pressure and decrease in efficiency of circulation.

Prevention:

1. After a leak the number of platelets would get increased that minimise the leakage by clotting of blood.
2. The blood clots if conducting tubes of a circulatory system develops a leak.
3. The platelets will increase, which will minimise the leakage.
4. Due to this, the inactive thrombin will become the active one in the presence of thromboplasm.
5. Moreover, this active thrombin will convert the inactive fibrinogen into the active fibrin and it results with a clot.
6. The problem is that if the person doesn’t develop with a blood clot, then the medical care is required, otherwise this can lead to death. ​
