Blood contain a special type of protein called fibrinogen. It is a fibrous protein and is insoluble in aqueous medium. They are non-crystalline and are elastic in nature.
This type of protein helps in blood clotting due to its elastic nature.

Why does the blood stop clotting in diabetes?
it shouldn't the disease where blood stops clotting is hemophillia
Why there is no clotting of blood in anthrax?
Anthrax attacks the cells that create the connective tissue in our blood cells. This means that there is no clotting of the blood.
What is the mineral necessary for chemical clotting?
Calcium is important in the clotting of blood.
Elements that play a part in blood clotting include platyelets?
yes. platelets are the cell type which are required for blood clotting.
Why might a blood clot be important to maintaining homeostasis?
Homeostasis is a term used to describe normal body functions, which include blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, respiration and blood composition. Coagulation contributes to homeostasis as the platelets and clotting factors in the blood clots and ceases bleeding.
Clotting begins when a what occurs in a blood vessel wall?
break
Which is best suited to the clotting process that occurs when blood vessels are ruptured?
Platelets
What is the final result of the clotting process?
Blood clotting is also known as coagulation. On average, it occurs within 3 to 6 minutes of a blood vessel being damaged. There are two main ways for blood clotting to occur: the intrinsic pathway, and the rapid extrinsic pathway. Whichever pathway occurs the final result is always that blood plasma turns into a gel as a result of being combined with fibrin, and this forms a blood clot.
What are the Buffering effect of blood plasma?
This occurs because there is no clotting factor or blood cell in the serum. The blood serum would only contain the blood plasma.
What chemical constricts blood vessels until clotting occurs?
antidepressants and smoking
What occurs when clotting in the vessels occurs in large arteries?
If this clotting occurs in the larger arteries, it results in major tissue damage.
What are platelets and what do they have to with heart problem?
Platelets are a component of blood which are involved in blood clotting which stops bleeding and stops infection. However, if clotting occurs during the normal circulation of the blood, the clot might lodge in some blood vessel, cutting of the blood supply to vital organs, such as the heart.
The extrinsic pathway of blood clotting occurs much quicker than the intrinsic pathway true or false?
True
What blood cell helps is blood clotting?
Platelets help with blood clotting
What is lupus ANTICUAGULATE?
Lupus anticoagulant is a blood clotting disorder that occurs in some lupus patients. Lupus anticoagulant causes blood clots. It is treated with blood thinners.
What causes blood clonts during periods?
During periods, blood clots can be caused by the body not being able to release anticoagulants quick enough to prevent the blood from clotting. Some clotting is normal during a period and mostly occurs on the heaviest days.
What component of blood is responsible for clotting blood?
The chief plasma component to the clotting of blood is the platelet. The additional components include blood clotting factors.
