APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Coagulation: fibrinogen plays a major role in blood clotting along with other procoagulants like thrombin and factor X. Defense: immunoglobulins and antibodies in plasma play an important role in the body’s defense against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrinogen is a protein produced by the liver. This protein helps stop bleeding by helping blood clots to form. A blood test can be done to tell how much fibrinogen you have in the blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The major physiological function of fibrinogen is the formation of fibrin that binds together platelets and some plasma proteins in a hemostatic plug. In pathological situations, the network entraps large numbers of erythrocytes and leukocytes forming a thrombus that may occlude a blood vessel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. Fibrinogen is the major plasma protein coagulation factor. Low plasma fibrinogen concentrations are therefore associated with an increased risk of bleeding due to impaired primary and secondary haemostasis.
