It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair. The mechanism of coagulation involves activation, adhesion, and aggregation of platelets along with deposition and maturation of fibrin.

Those three mechanisms are 1.vascular spasm 2.platelet plug formation 3.Blood clotting Prothrombinase formed in stage 1, converts prothrombin,which is a plasma protein that is formed in the liver,into the enzyme,in turn,thrombin converts fibrinogin into fibrin. Fibrin is insoluble and forms the threads that binds the clot. read less

Blood clotting technically means blood coagulation,i.e.the process by which blood is transformed into a solid state. It is a complex process involving clotting factors(calcium ions, enzymes, platelets, damaged tissues) activating each other. In short, coagulation means a process by which blood changes from a liquid form to a gel,forming clot. It potentially results in homeostasis, i.e. cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel followed by repair. Blood coagulation involves 3 processes,namely- 1)activation 2)adhesion 3)aggregatiom of platelets along with deposition and maturation of fibrin. The 3 stages of this process are-1)formation of prothrombinase- (a)intrinsic system (b)extrinsic system 2)prothrombin converted into enzyme thrombin 3)fibrinogen(soluble) converted to fibrin(insoluble) read less

1.When the vessel wall is broken, thrombocytes (platelets) in the blood release an enzyme called thromboplastin. Thromboplastin then converts a protein in the blood plasma called prothrombin into an active enzyme called thrombin. Calcium is needed for this process to work. (So: thromboplastin + calcium...

1.When the vessel wall is broken, thrombocytes (platelets) in the blood release an enzyme called thromboplastin. Thromboplastin then converts a protein in the blood plasma called prothrombin into an active enzyme called thrombin. Calcium is needed for this process to work. (So: thromboplastin + calcium + prothrombin = thrombin). This makes the platelets stickier so they start to bind directly over the site of injury. 2.Thrombin then changes another plasma protein, fibrinogen into fibrin. Fibrin is insoluble and forms a netlike covering across the damaged vessel. (Thus thrombin + fibrinogen = fibrin). 3.As blood tries to flow through the red and white blood cells and platelets are trapped and form a clot. (Thus fibrin + blood cells = clot). Thanks read less

Should I join coaching in class 12 for the JEE? I haven't joined any coaching in class 11.
If you're serious about JEE, you should join a coaching institute. There are thousands of students out there studying from morning to late night and it's a hard nut to crack without proper coaching
