Trombínmyndun
Trombínmyndun refers to the process by which thrombin is generated in the blood. Thrombin is a crucial enzyme in the coagulation cascade, a complex series of reactions that leads to the formation of a blood clot. This process is essential for hemostasis, preventing excessive bleeding after injury.
The formation of thrombin is primarily initiated by the activation of clotting factors. In response to tissue
Alternatively, thrombin can also be generated through the intrinsic pathway of coagulation, which is triggered by
Once formed, thrombin has multiple functions. It converts soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin, which forms the
