MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Arterial thrombosis is a blood clot that develops in an artery. It’s dangerous as it can obstruct or stop the flow of blood to major organs, such as the heart or brain. If a blood clot narrows one or more of the arteries leading to the heart, muscle pain known as angina can occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coronary thrombosis is a blockage of an artery in the heart, which can lead to a heart attack.

Detailed explanation-3: -When there is an injury, platelets release molecules into the blood that help turn on clotting factors. One important clotting factor is fibrin, a long, thin, and sticky protein. When it is turned on, it forms a mesh to hold the platelet plug in place. This is called a fibrin clot.

Detailed explanation-4: -Causes of arterial thrombosis Arterial thrombosis usually affects people whose arteries are clogged with fatty deposits. This is known as atherosclerosis. These deposits cause the arteries to harden and narrow over time. This increases the risk of blood clots forming and blocking an artery.

Detailed explanation-5: -Platelets (a type of blood cell) and proteins in your plasma (the liquid part of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury.
