Chapter 12.4, Problem 1Q
Summary Introduction
To determine: The main event in the formation of the blood clot.
Introduction: Blood coagulation indicates the clotting of blood that takes place in a series of reactions, each reaction activating the next one. It is a complex process that utilizes many clotting factors. Some of these clotting factors promote the coagulation of blood, and others inhibit it. When blood vessels are injured, the concentration of the clotting factors that favor coagulation increases and coagulates the blood.
