Blood Clotting Flashcards

1
Q

3 phases to formation of clot

A
  1. Vascular phase: blood vessels constrict at site of injury
  2. Platelet plug formation, release of factors that aid in vasoconstriction
  3. Clotting factors and cascades

Q

What are fibrin clots dissolved into?

A

Fibrin degradation products
-these dissolve into D and E products which are removed from the reticulo-endothelial system and are found in the liver as Kupffers cells
