koagulaatiotekijässä
Koagulaatiotekijä is a Finnish term that translates to "coagulation factor" in English. Coagulation factors are a group of proteins in the blood plasma that are essential for the process of blood coagulation, or clotting. When a blood vessel is injured, these factors are activated in a specific sequence, forming a cascade that ultimately leads to the formation of a fibrin clot. This clot stops bleeding by sealing the damaged vessel.
There are numerous coagulation factors, each designated by a Roman numeral. Some of the most well-known include
The study of coagulation factors is crucial in understanding hemostasis, the body's ability to stop bleeding.
