Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which one of the following plasma proteins are involved in the coagulation of blood?
A
Albumin
B
Serum amylase
C
Globulin
D
Fibrinogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Coagulants, mainly fibrinogen, aid in blood clotting. Plasma proteins, such as albumin and globulin, that help maintain the colloidal osmotic pressure at about 25 mmHg.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrinogen is a thrombin-coagulable glycoprotein occurring in the blood of vertebrates. The primary structure of the alpha, beta, and gamma polypeptide chains of human fibrinogen is known from amino acid and nucleic acid sequencing. The intact molecule has a trinodular, dimeric structure and is functionally bivalent.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -A protein involved in forming blood clots in the body. It is made in the liver and forms fibrin. Fibrin is the main protein in a blood clot that helps stop bleeding and heal wounds.
