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
Blood clotting is ultimately due to the formation of the protein known as?
protein does not cause blood clotting but the platelets in the blood does.
What Stands of protein involved in clotting?
fibrin
What is the protein needed for blood clotting?
fibrinogen
What protein is present in plasma but not in serum?
Fibrinogen is a protein present in plasma but not in serum. Serum is plasma without the clotting factors like fibrinogen, which is used up during the clotting process.
What are coiled protein strands that have barbs tipped with poison?
A nematocyst is a coiled protein strands that have barbs tipped with poison. It is a capsule within a specialized cells.
Are Microfilaments thin strands of the contractile protein myosin?
False.... protein actin
What are protein strands that attach to the centromere?
Spindle fibers.
What insoluble fibers forms a mesh network and basis for formation of clot during coaugulation?
The mesh of insoluble fibers that aids blood clotting is made up of a protein called fibrin. The network of interlacing protein strands created by fibrin works to catch cells and form a barrier, aiding the formation of a clot.
In medical terms what is the 'Christmas factor'?
A blood-clotting protein
Serum is plasma minus the?
clotting proteins and cells
What is the function of the fibrin?
Fibrin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process. When an injury occurs, fibrinogen, a soluble plasma protein, is converted into insoluble fibrin strands by the action of the enzyme thrombin. These fibrin strands weave through the platelets and other blood cells, forming a stable clot that helps to seal wounds and prevent excessive bleeding. Additionally, fibrin provides a scaffold for tissue repair during the healing process.
