Question

What helps to stop the bleeding by helping the blood to clot?

Answer 1

the  component called- fibrin { 1 of the factor among blood clotting  contents } will help the blood to clot by forming fibrin threads which bloks larger molecules and prevents them to come out.

Answer 2

elim

Answer 3

a protein in the blood called fibrin.

Answer 4

by drying it so a scab will be formed and it blocks the flowing blood from flowing out of your skin and flesh

Answer 5

I (fibrinogen)- Forms clot (fibrin)

II (prothrombin)- Its active form (IIa) activates I, V, VIII, XI, XIII, protein C, platelets

Tissue factor- Co-factor of VIIa (formerly known as factor III)

Calcium - Required for coagulation factors to bind to phospholipid-(formerly known as factor IV)

V (proaccelerin, labile factor)- Co-factor of X with which it forms the prothrombinase complex

VII (stable factor)- Activates IX, X

VIII (antihemophilic factor)- Co-factor of IX with which it forms the tenase complex

IX (Christmas factor)- Activates X: forms tenase complex with factor VIII

X (Stuart-Prower factor)- Activates II: forms prothrombinase complex with factor V

XI (plasma thromboplastin antecedent)- Activates IX

XII (Hageman factor)- Activates factor XI and prekallikrein

XIII (fibrin-stabilizing factor)- Crosslinks fibrin

von Willebrand factor- Binds to VIII, mediates platelet adhesion

prekallikrein Activates XII and prekallikrein; -cleaves HMWK

high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK)- Supports reciprocal activation of XII, XI, and prekallikrein

fibronectin Mediates cell adhesion

antithrombin III- Inhibits IIa, Xa, and other proteases;

heparin cofactor II- Inhibits IIa, cofactor for heparin and dermatan sulfate -("minor antithrombin")

protein C- Inactivates Va and VIIIa

protein S- Cofactor for activated protein C (APC, inactive when bound to C4b-binding protein)

protein Z -Mediates thrombin adhesion to phospholipids and stimulates degradation of factor X by ZPI

Platelets- adhere to the fibrin and helps form the clot.

Vitamin K- essential for factors II, VII, IX and X, as well as Protein S, Protein C and Protein Z.

There are several things involved in the coagulation cascade.

There is the platelet activation; tissue factor pathway; contact activation pathway; and final common pathway.
