The most important part of clotting is the platelets. These cells are designed specifically to activate when bleeding occurs. However, special proteins are required to allow the platelets to do their job. ,

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.

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 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 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


Does smoking effect blood clotting or make it more difficult for the blood to clot?

Yes, smoking affects blood clotting by making the blood more likely to clot. It increases the risk of getting a deep vein thrombosis. Smoking increases fibrinogen in the blood and also increase the levels of factor X111 which stabilizes the clot.
