How does rat poison kill humans?
Painfully. If you mean, how does it kill a human, according to a National Poison Control Service, the amount of rat/mouse poisoning needed to kill an adult human is so great that it would not "make sense." (as if any of this would!) Several boxes full would make an adult sick, but ingesting several boxes would be awfully hard to ingest. The way in which rat poisoning kills mice or rats is through the same mechanism as Warfarin (used in humans under the brand name blood thinner, "Coumadin." These chemicals "thin" the blood and reduce its ability to clot. That is great news when trying to avoid a stroke or a heart attack, because the blood can "fit" through narrowed vessels, but bad news to a very small mammal, who, by eating enough of it, would bleed internally until it died. Even a large rat, though, weighs so little compared to a human, that the active poison in boxed rat/mouse poisoning would have little toxic effect. Dogs can get terribly messed up, though, as the stuff often seems tempting and tasty to them, so keep containers away from all pets. An overdose of a Coumadin-type product, whether intentional or not, can seriously damage/kill a human. The result is similar to the way in which a hemophiliac would bleed internally, possibly leading to death. The remedy, if applied in time, is a combination of blood transfusions and vitamin K, which increases the clotting factor found in normal blood, that has been depleted by the poison. This is why ongoing testing must be done whenever anyone is on blood thinners, so the right amount can be administered and titrated.
What are systemic coagulants used for?
Systemic coagulants used to replace calcium, vitamin K, and other blood coagulants factors. Ex: calcium salts, calcium chloride…
What are the names of some coagulants?
protamine sulfate
What is an agitation of precipitates due to the addition of coagulants chemicals?
You probably mean aggregation. Aggregation means to clump together - which is what coagulants do, although in general, flucculants are more commonly used - they tend to make the aggregates rise to the surface.

What is blood additive?
Blood Additive are the chemicals that are used in storing blood specimen carried out for clinical laboratory investigations. Different Blood additive or Anti-coagulants are used in different types of requirement.
Why blood liquid in nature?
due to complicated factors e.g. Anti thrombogenes/thromboresistance properties of vessel walls anti coagulants not activated presence of natural born anticoagulants system of fibrinolysis
What is the relationship between leech and blood clotting?
Leeches Create a chemical that prevents Clotting so that the blood continues to FLOW while it Feeds on it. This Chemical formula was used to develop ANTI-COAGULANTS for medical use.
How are clots kept under control?
With anti-coagulants like heparin or levenox. If it is a long term problem they will be started on coumadin or for people who have clots that continue to come back may have an internal filter inserted near the vena cava to catch them.
What would cause spontaneous small circular bruises on the forearms of a 70-year old?
Are you taking any anti-coagulants, such as a daily aspirin? These can often cause spontaneous bruising which - if the anti-coagulant treatment continues - can take weeks to clear up.
