Factor I = Fibrinogen Factor II = Prothrombin Factor III = Tissue factor Factor IV = Calcium Factor V = Labile factor Factor VI - Does not exist as it was named initially but later on discovered not to play a part in blood coagulation. Factor VII = Stable factor Factor VIII = Antihemophilic factor A Factor IX = Antihemophilic factor B or Christmas factor (named after the first patient in whom the factor deficiency was documented) Factor X = Stuart Prower factor Factor XI = Antihemophilic factor C Factor XII = Hageman factor Factor XIII = Fibrin stabilising factor
The 13 blood coagulation factors are: * Factor I - fibrinogen * Factor II - prothrombin * Factor III - tissue thromboplastin (tissue factor) * Factor IV - ionized calcium ( Ca++ ) * Factor V - labile factor or proaccelerin * Factor VI - unassigned * Factor VII - stable factor or proconvertin * Factor VIII - antihemophilic factor * Factor IX - plasma thromboplastin component, Christmas factor * Factor X - Stuart-Prower factor * Factor XI - plasma thromboplastin antecedent * Factor XII - Hageman factor * Factor XIII - fibrin-stabilizing factor

coagulation
clotting factors are used by the body
the part of the blood that closes a wound is called the platelets.
An embolus is a wandering blood clot.
its blood that's got alot of clot
Some risk factors, such as genetically related diseases, cannot be minimized. But minimizing other risk factors will help prevent problems with blood clots.
A blood clot in your cheek is life threatening and you would have to have surgery for the clot to be removed.
Thrombus in medical terms means blood clot.
stationary clot is called a thrombus or a blood clot.
Do you mean in the sense that it would cause blood to clot? Blood clots and doesn't clot due to something being wrong with clotting factors in the body... wether it be absence of one or possibly something wrong with another.
This is dependent entirely on how large the clot is, where it is at, how the person's blood chemistry is, and so on. The short answer is- each situation is entirely unique and assessed on an individual basis.
