bloedstollingHet
Bloedstolling, also known as coagulation, is a vital physiological process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. It involves a complex cascade of enzymatic reactions and cellular interactions leading to the formation of a blood clot. This clot, primarily composed of fibrin, platelets, and trapped blood cells, acts as a plug to seal the damaged vessel.
The process begins immediately after injury. Platelets, small cell fragments circulating in the blood, adhere to
Several factors are essential for normal blood clotting. These include a sufficient number of platelets, adequate
