Blood clotting

Clotting factors are arguably the crux and most essential components of hemostasis. Hemostasis is the body’s physiologic response to vascular endothelial injury, which results in a series of processes that attempt to retain blood within the vascular system through the formation of a clot. 
Their are 12 factors of blood clotting in biology
  • Factor I - fibrinogen
  • Factor II - prothrombin
  • Factor III - tissue thromboplastin (tissue factor)
  • Factor IV - ionized calcium ( Ca++ )
  • Factor V - labile factor or proaccelerin
  • Factor VI - unassigned
  • Factor VII - stable factor or proconvertin
  • Factor VIII - antihemophilic factor
  • Factor IX - plasma thromboplastin component, Christmas factor
  • Factor X - Stuart-Prower factor
  • Factor XI - plasma thromboplastin antecedent
  • Factor XII - Hageman factor
  • Factor XIII - fibrin-stabilizing factor
They all are formed in liver with the help of several vitams A,K,D,E

So, we always have the vitamin rich diet.
