∙ 13y agoThe liver is responsible for producing prothrombin, which is a precursor to the blood-clotting protein thrombin. Thrombin plays a crucial role in the blood coagulation process by converting fibrinogen into fibrin to form clots and prevent excessive bleeding.
what makes an organ system
Prothrombin is converted to thrombin by the enzyme thromboplastin. Thrombin plays a vital role in the clotting cascade by converting fibrinogen into fibrin, which forms a mesh that helps stop bleeding.
i think it is the kidney
Prothrombin is synthesized in the liver, specifically in the hepatocytes. It is then released into the bloodstream where it plays a critical role in the blood clotting cascade.
Prothrombin time (PT) primarily measures the activity of clotting factors I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V, VII, and X.
