Formation of a blood clot
formation of a clot
Coagulation and thrombosis both refer to the formation of blood clots.
Intrinsic blood clot formation occurs due to factors within the blood vessels, such as damage to the vessel wall or abnormal blood flow. Extrinsic blood clot formation, on the other hand, is triggered by external factors outside the blood vessels, such as trauma or surgery. Both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways ultimately lead to the formation of a blood clot, which is a normal response to prevent excessive bleeding.

fibrin
During clot formation, the insoluble blood protein that forms a fibrous mesh network is fibrin. This network traps blood cells and platelets to form a stable blood clot at the site of injury.

No, thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel, which can lead to blockage. Thrombophlebitis is inflammation of a vein, often accompanied by a blood clot. Thrombophlebitis can lead to thrombosis if the clot breaks off and travels to another part of the body.
