TASK 2 NON-SPECIFIC DEFENCES Blood clotting is a homeostatic response. When clotting is poor, even a slight injury to a blood vessel may lead to severe blood loss. When clotting is excessive, small blood vessels in critical places in the body can become clogged leading to clots. Excessive bleeding or excessive clotting both can be dangerous. 4.- Describe the main stages in the formation of a blood clot and evaluate the importance of specific factors example platelets, vitamin K, air and blood proteins Using the titles provided in the bullet points below; • Injured tissue - exposure of endothelial cells Narrowing_(constriction) of blood vessels • Activity of platelets • Activity of clotting factors You may want to include diagrams to help you explain.
