•SHORT DESCRIPTION ON HOW BLOOD CLOT FORMS• ( 4 EASY STEPS)

syed98 (syedmohammed98):

◘ Thrombosis is used by the body to prevent lots of blood being lost when a blood vessel is damaged. A series of reactions occurs that leads to the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) : 1) A protein called THROMBOPLASTIN is released from the damahed blood vessel 2) Thromboplastin triggers the conversion of PROTHROMBIN (a soluble protein) into THROMBIN(an enzyme) 3) THROMBIN then catalyses the conversion of FIBRINOGEN (a soluble protein) into THROMBIN ( solid insoluble fibres) 4) The fibrin fibres tangle together and form a mesh in which platelets ( small fragments of cells in the blood) and red blood cells get trapped. This forms the blood clot.☻
