Introduction: The blood plasma contains a large number of proteins that perform different functions. Fibrin is a fiber-like and non-globular protein that takes part in the clotting of blood. The injured area accumulates fibrin and forms fibrin clot to stop the bleeding and initiate clotting
Summary Introduction
To determine: The factor that stops this loop.
Introduction: Coagulation is a process in which a gelatinous clot is formed from the blood fluid. There are two pathways that are involved in the process of coagulation, one is the intrinsic pathway, and another is the extrinsic pathway.
