What else can I help you with?
Which of the blood cells make the blood clot?
It's not a blood cell. It is platelets. They clot due to blood loss from damaged blood vessels
What are blood clotting proteins?
Proteins involved in the blood clotting process form a barrier to stop the blood loose from injury. there are various blood clotting factors, thrombin, and fibrin are all involved in the biochemical cascade to make the fibrin clot at the end. They generally activated by each other from its precursor protein such as prothrombin, fibrinogen.
What starts the clotting process?
Coagulation of the blood begins with the activation of platelets - protoplasmic bodies that aid in the clotting of blood. These particles are part of blood composition at all times, but only coagulate when a blood vessel is injured. The injury triggers chemical signals which in turn draw collagen and platelets to the site of the wound and eventually build a structure to prevent blood loss.
What cell is infected with hemophilia?
Skin cells, I think. Hemophilia is when you can't heal outside wounds so I'm pretty sure it's skin. The person lacks certain protein for clotting factors. Platelets are used to clot the blood and make a person stop bleeding. Bleeding can occur internally as well as externally.
What part of the blood helps clotting?
I think it is the platelets cells but you may want to:Check in a biology textbook/revision bookAsk a biology( science) teacherits a long process with a few cellsGoogle "clotting cascade" for the full story
What are two components that make clotting possible?
albumen and fibernogen
List two components of blood that make clotting possible?
Fibrinogen and platelets are two components of blood that play a critical role in the clotting process. Fibrinogen is a soluble plasma protein that is converted into insoluble fibrin during clot formation, while platelets help initiate clotting by adhering to the site of injury and releasing chemical signals that promote blood coagulation.
What are blood fractions?
In referring to blood, the four major components that make up whole blood are RBC's, WBC's, Plasma and Platelets. Fractions are included in each of the 4 components. Examples include: Immune Globulins, Albumin, Clotting Factors etc.
What conclusion will you make if someone's blood does not contain platelets?
i am the clotting power
4 components that make up blood?
Blood is made up of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets, and plasma. Each of these components plays a critical role in the body's immune response, clotting ability, and oxygen transport.
Which of the blood cells make the blood clot?
It's not a blood cell. It is platelets. They clot due to blood loss from damaged blood vessels

What would make blood not clot?
If you are a hemophiliac (a genetic disorder) your blood will not clot. Also certain medicines such as Warfarin or Heparin will act as anticoagulants and prevent blood from clotting. People undergoing chemotherapy for cancer also have problems with blood not clotting due to a reduction in the number of platelets present in the blood.
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.
What is required to clot blood?
A lot of substances are involved in blood clotting. It is a very large and complex picture. Without writing a whole essay, the best I can do for you is make a short list of critical components: 1. A healthy bone marrow (this is where the platelets are produced) 2. A healthy liver (this is where most of the proteins of the clotting cascade are produced) 3. Vitamin K In addition, these common substances enhance blood clotting: 1. COX-2 inhibitors (any drug that ends with "coxib") 2. nicotine 3. bacterial products such as lipopolysaccharides
Why does blood make a natural bandage over a wound?
Blood acts as a natural bandage over a wound primarily due to its clotting ability. When a blood vessel is injured, platelets rapidly gather at the site and release chemicals that promote clotting, forming a fibrin mesh that seals the wound. This clot protects the underlying tissues from infection and further injury while facilitating healing. Additionally, components in blood, such as antibodies, help combat pathogens, further aiding in the healing process.
What different parts make up blood?
Blood is composed of several key components: red blood cells, which transport oxygen; white blood cells, which are part of the immune system and help fight infections; platelets, which play a crucial role in blood clotting; and plasma, the liquid portion that carries nutrients, hormones, and waste products. Together, these components work to maintain homeostasis, deliver essential substances to cells, and protect the body from disease.
