Blood Clots http://goo.gl/W0jTaQ How Do Blood Clots Form? Chemical reactions grow the blood clot o Blood contains dissolved proteins, also called clotting factors, which promote blood clots. These signal and amplify each other’s activity in massive numbers at the site of bleeding. o This results in a chain reaction where the end product is fibrin, the main protein in forming blood clots. o The fibrin formed blood clot is tougher and more durable than the platelet clump. Anti-clotting processes halt the blood clot’s growth o The platelet plug forms o After a blood clot is formed, it must be prevented from growing and spreading through the body, where it could cause damage. The body breaks down the blood clot o As the damaged tissue heals, the body breaks down the blood clot and reabsorbs it. o An enzyme called plasmin breaks down the tough fibrin strands in a blood clot. o This breaking down is called Thrombolysis or commonly called clot busting. Platelets become stimulated when they encounter a o damage blood vessel and flock to the site o http://www.anticoagulantdrugs.com/blood-clots-full-guide/ Platelets clump together and form a plug which reduces bleeding o Anti-clotting proteins like antithrmbin exist in a natural balance with clotting factors. Enzymes neutralize excess clotting factors, which prevent them from extending the blood clot farther than it should go. Blood Clots Treatments? Where? Clots can occur in veins or arteries, which are vessels that are part of the Thrombus formation http://goo.gl/Rd7wIs body’s circulatory system. prevents clots from forming.
