The most important part of clotting is the platelets. These cells are designed specifically to activate when bleeding occurs. However, special proteins are required to allow the platelets to do their job. ,

What are blood clotting proteins?
Proteins involved in the blood clotting process form a barrier to stop the blood loose from injury. there are various blood clotting factors, thrombin, and fibrin are all involved in the biochemical cascade to make the fibrin clot at the end. They generally activated by each other from its precursor protein such as prothrombin, fibrinogen.
What starts the clotting process?
Coagulation of the blood begins with the activation of platelets - protoplasmic bodies that aid in the clotting of blood. These particles are part of blood composition at all times, but only coagulate when a blood vessel is injured. The injury triggers chemical signals which in turn draw collagen and platelets to the site of the wound and eventually build a structure to prevent blood loss.
What part of the blood helps clotting?
I think it is the platelets cells but you may want to:Check in a biology textbook/revision bookAsk a biology( science) teacherits a long process with a few cellsGoogle "clotting cascade" for the full story
What are properties of air that it make possible to be fractional distilled?
Components of air (nitrogen, oxigen, argon, xenon, etc.) have different boiling points.
Why is blood typed and crossmatched before being given to a patient?
To prevent transfusion reactions. Infusing incompatible red cells will cause the patients antibodies to bind to them, resulting in severe clotting and hemolysis.
List two components of blood that make clotting possible?
Platelets and proteins.
What are two components that make clotting possible?
albumen and fibernogen
What are blood fractions?
In referring to blood, the four major components that make up whole blood are RBC's, WBC's, Plasma and Platelets. Fractions are included in each of the 4 components. Examples include: Immune Globulins, Albumin, Clotting Factors etc.
What conclusion will you make if someone's blood does not contain platelets?
i am the clotting power

What is required to clot blood?
A lot of substances are involved in blood clotting. It is a very large and complex picture. Without writing a whole essay, the best I can do for you is make a short list of critical components: 1. A healthy bone marrow (this is where the platelets are produced) 2. A healthy liver (this is where most of the proteins of the clotting cascade are produced) 3. Vitamin K In addition, these common substances enhance blood clotting: 1. COX-2 inhibitors (any drug that ends with "coxib") 2. nicotine 3. bacterial products such as lipopolysaccharides
What would make blood not clot?
If you are a hemophiliac (a genetic disorder) your blood will not clot. Also certain medicines such as Warfarin or Heparin will act as anticoagulants and prevent blood from clotting. People undergoing chemotherapy for cancer also have problems with blood not clotting due to a reduction in the number of platelets present in the blood.
A protein in blood plasma that is necessary for the clotting of blood?
The protein fibrin is found in the blood and it has a necessary role in blood clotting.Thrombin, another protein, is found in blood. It is an enzyme that speeds up the rate of blood clotting. Thrombin and fibrin work hand in hand during the process of blood clotting.
Does smoking effect blood clotting or make it more difficult for the blood to clot?
Yes, smoking affects blood clotting by making the blood more likely to clot. It increases the risk of getting a deep vein thrombosis. Smoking increases fibrinogen in the blood and also increase the levels of factor X111 which stabilizes the clot.
Does aspirin make you bleed?
Aspirin does have an blood thinning effect.
What are 2 animals that can be used as blood thinners?
I know one is a leech- they secrete a compound called lepirudin. It is in their saliva to stop your blood from clotting while they suck your blood- it would kill their meal! We have learned to make synthetic versions of this compound to be used as drugs to stop unwanted clotting.
Why blood does not clot while transfused through syringe?
Blood clotting begins immediately when blood is drawn into a syringe but the time to form a clot dense enough to clog up a syringe varies based on numerous factors. These can include the amount of thrombin and fibrinogen present in the patient's blood (both compounds needed to make clots), the surrounding temperature and even how roughly the sample is handled (shaking a blood sample can speed up clotting). Also syringes sometimes coated or contain anti-clotting compounds (such as citrate- dextrose) to slow down the clotting process.
