What is the difference between fibrin and fibrinogen?
Fibrinogen is a plasma protein and functions in blood coagulation.Fibrin are threads of protein that provide the backbone for a blood clot.
What are the 7 steps to the process of blood clot formation?
1. Primary hamostasis. 2. Platelets aggregation and adhesion. 3. Factor activation 4. Calcium 5. Prothrombin to thrombin 6. Fibronigene to fibrin 7. Clot
How physiological processes limit damage?
haemorrhage prevented by platelet aggregation and agglutination (clotting) and vasoconstriction to maintain blood pressure/perfusion pressure. formation of clot through platelet clumping and binding with protein fibrin.
What cardiovascular disorders are the direct result of blood clots?
If the clot forms in an artery that supplies blood to the heart, for example, it can cause a heart attack. A clot that cuts off blood to the brain can cause a stroke.
When clot forms what does fibrin convert to?

Formation of a blood clot?

What are the blood clot contain insoluble strands?
fibrin
What protein forms blood clot?
When blood clotting is activated, fibrinogen (a protein of the blood plasma) circulating in the blood is converted to fibrin, which in turn helps to form a stable blood clot at the site of vascular disruption.
The sticky protein threads that function in blood clotting?
A blood clot is a semisolid gelatinous mass of coagulated consisting of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets enclosed in a fibrin network. A great variety of structural proteins are present in a blood clot, for instance haemoglobin in red blood cells, antibodies in white blood cells, and fibrin in the platelets.
Which plasma proteins become the threads of a blood clot?
fibrin
