When a clot is no Longer needed it is dissolved by?
When a clot is no longer needed, it is dissolved by a process called fibrinolysis. This process involves the activation of plasminogen, which is converted into plasmin, an enzyme that breaks down fibrin, the protein that forms the meshwork of the clot. As plasmin degrades fibrin, the clot is gradually dissolved, allowing normal blood flow to resume. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining the balance between clot formation and breakdown in the body.
