Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The process of blood clotting is essential to minimize the loss of blood in case of an injury. It is a highly regulated process. Endothelial cells of blood vessels play an important role in the regulation of blood clotting by producing anti-clotting factors or anticoagulants. These substances regulate the process of blood clotting and are produced by hepatocytes.
