What are the steps in the coagulation cascade for blood clotting? (5)

Author: Sammy Universe



Answer:

1) damaged cells and platelets = clotting factors 2) clotting factors = platelets become sticky = plug and reduced blood flow to damaged region prothrombin = thrombin (activated) 3) thrombin = converts fibrinogen to fibrin (insoluble) 4) fibrin forms mesh around platelet plug = clot 5) when repaired = plasmin dissolves clot
