its blood that's got alot of clot
The primary blood clotting compound is called fibrin. It forms a mesh-like structure that stabilizes the platelet plug during the clotting process, helping to stop bleeding. Fibrin is derived from fibrinogen, a soluble plasma protein that is converted into fibrin during the coagulation cascade.
One example of a chemical substance involved in clotting is thrombin. Thrombin is a key enzyme in the coagulation cascade that plays a critical role in converting fibrinogen to fibrin, which forms a blood clot. Dysregulation of thrombin activity can lead to bleeding disorders or thrombotic events.
Coagulation is when the blood thickens and solidifies, turning from a liquid into a gel. Clotting is when the chunks of coagulated blood forms a solid or semi-solid mass. Clotting is a healthy response to stop bleeding.
Fibrinogen and platelets are two key substances found in the blood during clotting. Fibrinogen is a plasma protein that forms fibrin threads, while platelets are cell fragments that help initiate the clotting process by adhering to the site of injury and releasing clotting factors.
The two key enzymes in the clotting process are thrombin and factor Xa. Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin, which forms the mesh that stabilizes the blood clot. Factor Xa plays a crucial role in the coagulation cascade by converting prothrombin into thrombin, thus amplifying the clotting response. Together, these enzymes are essential for effective hemostasis.
To coagulate means that a liquid with submicroscopic particles in it (e.g. the blood which contains platelets) forms a jelly-like solid. In medicine, this is the same as clotting and means that the blood forms a mass (a clot) which may occlude a vessel.
Medical practitioners diagnose clotting deficiency by conducting blood clotting tests.
Red blood cells do not initiate clotting. Platelets initiate clotting.
Fibrinogen is a protein in the blood that plays a key role in blood clotting. When there is tissue damage or bleeding, fibrinogen is converted into fibrin, which forms a mesh-like structure to help stop bleeding by creating a blood clot.
Longer clotting times, its a clotting disorder.
A contusion. This characterized by swelling and clotting of the subderal blood. You would probably call it a bruise.
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.
