Summary Introduction
To predict: The events that will take place if there was a shortage of fibrinogen in blood.
Introduction: Plasma is the liquid component of blood in which blood cells are suspended. It has several proteins, collectively known as plasma proteins, each of which has specific characteristics and functions. Fibrinogen is a plasma protein.

They may bleed to death.c. Noting. Clotting is not important.d. They would have to take regular dosses of plasmaarrow_forwardBlood clotting is a homeostatic response. When clotting is poor, even a slight injury to a blood vessel may lead to severe blood loss. When clotting is excessive, small blood vessels in critical places in the body can become clogged leading to clots. Excessive bleeding or excessive clotting both can be dangerous. – Describe the main stages in the formation of a blood clot and evaluate the importance of specific factors example platelets, vitamin K, air and blood proteins Injured tissue – exposure of endothelial cells Narrowing (constriction) of blood vessels Activity of platelets Activity of clotting factorsarrow_forward
