Question

Explain the reasons for coagulation.

Answer 1

Coagulation:

1. Coagulation is the process by which liquids change to a solid or semi-solid state.
2. Coagulation of blood is a popular phenomenon.
3. When a blood leak occurs, the platelets in the blood stick together around the wound to stop the leak.
4. The proteins in the blood come together with platelets and form a fibrin clot which acts as a mesh to stop bleeding.
5. The fibrin meshwork contracts and squeezes out the fluids.
6. The final product is an insoluble clot that withstands blood flow.
