this series of reactions eventually produces a protein called fibrin. fibrin gets its name from the fact that it weaves a net of tiny fibers across the cut in the blood vessel.

At the site of a wound platelets set off reactions that eventually cause the production of a chemical called?
fibrin
How does fibrin work with the platelets in your blood?
Platelets, which are produced in the bone marrow act to form clots and stop bleeding at the site of a wound. Calcium, vitamin K, and the protein fibrinogen work with the platelets in the formation of a clot. The platelets and fibrinogen allow for the formation of fibrin which makes a web-like mesh at the wound site trapping blood cells within in. This then hardens and eventually becomes a scab.
What start blood coltting at the wound?
In a healthy individual blood clots at a wound site to stop bleeding. This process begins with the cells lining the blood vessels causing the clots to form, then proteins create fibrin (which is another type of protein) that acts as glue to hold a blood clot together, and platelets which are small blood cell fragments stick together to form a clot. After the bleeding has stopped and healing has occurred the body breaks down and removes the clot.
When you cut yourself platelets in your body rush to the wound to form what?
Platelets form a clot at the site of a cut.
What protein forms blood clot?
When blood clotting is activated, fibrinogen (a protein of the blood plasma) circulating in the blood is converted to fibrin, which in turn helps to form a stable blood clot at the site of vascular disruption.
What releases Substances That Start The Process Of Blood Clotting?
Injury causes damaged tissue cells to produce prothrombin activator. This, along with clotting factor produced by the sticky platelets at the damaged site, cause prothrombin + calcium to make thrombin. All the while fibrinogen is stimulated to make fibrin. The fibrin ensnares RBCs to form the clot with the platelets. All factors have to be there for the clotting to occur. Lack of any of them causes bleeding disorders.
What are wound drainage systems?
Blood and the lymphatic systems. Wound drainage systems are things such as catheters (tubes) being inserted near the main surgical site to get rid of excess fluid brought on by the inflammatory process.
A protein in blood plasma that is necessary for the clotting of blood?
The protein fibrin is found in the blood and it has a necessary role in blood clotting.Thrombin, another protein, is found in blood. It is an enzyme that speeds up the rate of blood clotting. Thrombin and fibrin work hand in hand during the process of blood clotting.
Why use sterile gauze on the wound site?
So you do not introduce bacteria into the wound and have an infection.
What are hypertophic scars?
Hypertophic scars.are caused by an over-active healing process. This produces an excessive amount of collagen at the wound site.Hypertophic scars do not extend beyond the wound site. are red, thick, and raised above the wound.
The normal tensile strength of tissue at the site of wound is gained after?
two week of wound healing
What three criteria determine wound repair?
1. Length of the wound in centimeters 2.Complexity of the repair 3. Site of the wound repair
