Answer 1

Explain the mechanism of blood clotting using a flow chart:-

The process of forming a clot or thrombus to prevent excess loss of blood from the body is called the clotting of blood. A gelly mass-like substance is formed by the platelets and fibrin in the blood. Platelets play a vital role in the clotting of blood.

Flow chart:-

• Injury to blood vessel and platelets release prothrombin
• Activation of prothrombin to thrombin
• Splitting up of fibrinogen to fibrins by thrombin
• A mesh is formed around the wound controlling RBC and platelets by fibers present in fibrins.
• Bleeding is stopped
• The clot hardens and becomes smaller in size.
• New cells are grown to rebuild the wounded site.
• Plasmin enzymes are released and the clot is dissolved.
