Blood clotting is a defense mechanism to prevent the loss of blood through wounds. Mention the different stages of this process.

Answer»
  • Tissues of the wounded part degenerate to form the enzyme thromboplastin.
  • Thromboplastin converts prothrombin in the plasma to thrombin.
  • Thrombin converts the fibrinogen in the plasma to fibrin.
  • Blood clot is formed by the entangling of platelets and red blood cells in the fibrin network.
