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.
