(a)
Interpretation:
The role of vitamin K in blood clotting needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Blood clotting is a very important and very complex process. Without this process, the body would lose all of its blood by just a minor cut. Even simple acts like going out in the sun wouldn't be possible as all the internal injuries would lead to hemorrhage and death.
(b)
Interpretation:
The role of fibrinogen in blood clotting needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Blood clotting is a very complex and important factor without which the human body wouldn't survive even an hour. Blood clotting is responsible for the healing of the wounds and prevention of hemorrhages from internal injuries.
(c)
Interpretation:
The role of platelets in blood clotting needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Blood is a very important part of the human body and is responsible for major aspects and the clotting of blood is thus very important to the life-sustaining ability of the human body.
(d)
Interpretation:
The role of thrombin in the blood clotting needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Blood is one of the most important fluids present in the body and to prevent the body from losing this fluid from a simple minor cut there is a very important process of blood clotting.
