The process of clotting is called?
Coagulations
What are the characteristics of a thrombocyte?
they are also called platelets they are plate-shaped cells they initiate the blood clotting process.
What cells are activated in the blood clotting process?
They really are not cells by definition but they are fragments called platelets of rather large cells called megakaryocytes.
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 the smallest formed elements in the blood and they play important role in the blood clotting?
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
What cells are responible for clotting?
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.
What cells are involved in the clotting process?
Platelets.
What is the blood clotting disorder calledWhat is the blood clotting disorder called?
Hemophilia
Plasma with the clotting proteins removed is called?
Blood Plasma minus clotting factors is called the 'Serum'.
What is a substance that prevents the clotting of blood called?
A substance that prevents or slows the clotting of blood is called an anticoagulant.
What is the medical term meaning the process of clotting?
Coagulation is the medical term meaning process of clotting. Thrombogenesis is a related term meaning formation of a clot.
Do white blood cells initiate the clotting process?
No, white blood cells do not initiate the clotting process. Clotting is primarily initiated by platelets and clotting factors in the blood. White blood cells play a role in the immune response to infection and inflammation.
