Which type of blood cell is responsible for thrombus formation?
Platelets are the type of blood cell responsible for thrombus formation. They play a key role in initiating the clotting process by adhering to the site of injury and forming a plug to stop bleeding.
What is released when a platelet plug is formed?
A platelet plug is formed through the following processes in order to literally plug a hole in the wall of the vascular lumen:
A platelet plug is formed when fibrinogen is converted to fibrin.?
False. This happens when a clot is formed
A platelet plug begins to form when platelets are?
exposed to a rough surface

Why do veins clot?
Because the but diet and lack of exercise lieds to accumulation of lipids and later on the atherosclerotic plaque keep increasing leading to a platelet segregation. And when the rupture of plaque occurs might lead to a non-occlussive thrombus = unstable angina or occlusive thrombus= myocardial infarction, ending with acute coronary syndromes.
What is the stimulus for a platelet plug or blood clot to form?
The stimulus for a platelet formation is bleeding where the body automatically detects if there is a presence of bleeding inside or outside the body.
What is blood platelet plug formation?
Blood platelet plug formation is the process by which platelets in the blood adhere to the site of a damaged blood vessel, become activated, and aggregate to form a plug that helps stop bleeding. This plug is a temporary seal until more permanent blood clotting can occur to heal the damaged vessel.
How would you describe how a blood clot forms?
when one has a cut. more blood is pumped towards that area and with in that blood there clotting factors such as factor 8 and platelet's. At the site of the cut a thin mesh is formed by fibrinogen this traps platelets forming a cover called a clot this later turns into a scald
What three components needed for hemostasis and coagulation?
Vasoconstriction, platelet plug formation and clotting of blood.
What is a clot called that remains at its origin?
thrombus
Can you give a massage if your clinent has thrombus?
Yes, but with caution. A thrombus is a blood clot. You need to be very careful and avoid the area of the thrombus and the area that is further from the heart of the affected area. It would also be a good idea to get clearance from their primary physician before you massage them if they are severe.
