Hemophilia is caused by a defiency of what clotting factor?
factor VIII
What is hemopilia?
it is a genetic disorder in which blood has a lower than normal clotting factor
What protein is present in plasma but not in serum?
fibrinogen, it is the clotting factor
Where is made Factor viii?
Factor VIII is a protein that is typically made in the liver and released into the bloodstream. It is an essential component for normal blood clotting.
Where is extra blood stored in human body?
The spleen
What Protein factors required for clotting are synthesized by what?
Liver
Disease of which abdominal organ that can interfere with blood clotting?
An enlarged spleen can interfere with blood clotting. The spleen is a multifunctional organ that helps produce platelets, which serve to clot the blood.
Where does the clotting factors synthesized?
Heart Attacks 3x=s+e
Where are most clotting factors synthesized?
Most are made in the liver
Are clotting factors synthesized in the pancreas?
No,All are made in the liver except for Factor VIII (made by the vascular endothelium) and vonWillebrand's factor which is made in the endothelium (in the Weibel-Palade bodies), megakaryocytes (α-granules of platelets), and subendothelial connective tissue.
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 is a clotting factor?
contains nutrients
Hemophilia is caused by a defiency of what clotting factor?
factor VIII
What factors affect how skin heals?
The most notable factor affecting how wounds heal is the clotting factor of plasma. If the clotting factor is weak, scars are more likely to form.
How do antibiotics affect blood clotting?
In order for certain clotting factors( factors 2,7,9,and 10) to be synthesized in the liver Vit K must be present. Synthesized with the aide of our normal flora in our intestines, vit K synthesis can be compromised with the introduction of antibiotics that are generally non-discriminative towards bacteria in your body, killing both "good" and "bad" bacteria. Thus without vit k synthesis, necessary clotting factors are not synthesized either and can lead to the inability of your blood to clot as it normally would.
What is the protein that hemophiliacs lack?
In the most common type, Hemophilia A, the person lacks clotting factor VIII. In Hemophilia B, clotting factor IX is lacking.
What is plasma that lacks a clotting factor?
Serum, it lacks all of the elements needed for clotting. They have been separated out.
