koaguleerivad
Koaguleeruvad are a type of protein that play a crucial role in the blood clotting process, also known as coagulation. These proteins are part of the hemostatic system, which is responsible for stopping bleeding by forming a clot. Koaguleeruvad are produced by the liver and are activated in response to injury or damage to blood vessels. The primary koaguleeruvad include factors II, VII, IX, and X, which are collectively known as the intrinsic pathway, and factors V, VII, and X, which are part of the extrinsic pathway. These proteins work together with other components, such as platelets and fibrinogen, to form a stable clot that seals the broken blood vessel. The activation of koaguleeruvad is tightly regulated to prevent excessive bleeding or the formation of unwanted clots. Deficiencies or abnormalities in koaguleeruvad can lead to bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, while excessive activation can result in conditions like thrombosis.
