What is the different between blood and blood serum?
Plasma has clotting factors in it and serum does not.
Diagnose a clotting defiency?
Medical practitioners diagnose clotting deficiency by conducting blood clotting tests.
Do red blood cells intimate clotting?
Red blood cells do not initiate clotting. Platelets initiate clotting.
Plasma minus clotting proteins?
Plasma minus clotting proteins is called serum. Serum is the liquid portion of blood that remains after blood has clotted and the clotting factors have been removed. Serum is used in various medical tests to measure different components in the blood.
Is a blood clot that stimulates more blood clotting an examples of homeostasis or positive feedback?
A blood clot that stimulates more blood clotting is an example of positive feedback. In this process, the initial clotting triggers additional clotting mechanisms, amplifying the response until the wound is sufficiently healed. This is different from homeostasis, which refers to the body’s ability to maintain stable internal conditions. Positive feedback loops, like blood clotting, are used to achieve a specific outcome rather than maintain equilibrium.
Would a person with hemophilia have higher or lower than normal clotting times?
Longer clotting times, its a clotting disorder.
What is the mineral necessary for chemical clotting?
Calcium is the mineral necessary for chemical clotting. It plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process by enabling the activation of various clotting factors and facilitating the formation of a stable blood clot.
Agglutination an clotting the same thing?
Agglutination and clotting are related but distinct processes. Agglutination refers to the clumping together of particles, such as red blood cells or bacteria, typically due to the interaction with antibodies. Clotting, on the other hand, is a complex biological process that prevents bleeding by forming a blood clot through the aggregation of platelets and the activation of clotting factors. While both involve the aggregation of cells, they serve different physiological functions.
What are the three types of haemophilias?
Haemophilia A - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor VIII Haemophilia B - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor IX Haemophilia C - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor XI -similar to- vonWillebrand's Disorder - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called the vonWillebrand's Factor
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.
Does alcohol slow clotting?
No it does not , it makes your blood thinner.
What is the blood clotting disorder calledWhat is the blood clotting disorder called?
Hemophilia
