Blood clotting
Blood clotting is a rapid, highly coordinated response that transforms liquid blood into a semi-solid gel, sealing the wound. It prevents excessive blood loss from wounds and forms a protective barrier against pathogen entry.
Clotting factors
Proteins in the blood that play a crucial role in the formation of blood clots.
Fibrinogen
A soluble plasma protein that is converted into fibrin during clotting.
Platelet
Small, disc-shaped cell fragments in the blood that help in clotting.
Thrombin
An enzyme that converts fibrinogen to fibrin in the clotting process.
