Hemostatis/ Haemostatis
Coagulations
they are also called platelets they are plate-shaped cells they initiate the blood clotting process.
They really are not cells by definition but they are fragments called platelets of rather large cells called megakaryocytes.
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.
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
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are the smallest formed element in the blood. Made of cell fragments, platelets are part of the blood clotting process. Non-formed clotting factors also are critical to blood clotting.thrombocytes
Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are responsible for blood clotting. When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets become activated and form a plug at the site of injury to stop bleeding. They also release chemicals to help in the clotting process.
Platelets.
Hemophilia
Blood Plasma minus clotting factors is called the 'Serum'.
A substance that prevents or slows the clotting of blood is called an anticoagulant.
Coagulation is the medical term meaning process of clotting. Thrombogenesis is a related term meaning formation of a clot.
