Mark the pair of substances among the following which is essential for coagulation of blood.

Options

A. Heparin and calcuim ions
B. Calcium ions and platle factors
C. oxalates and citrates
D. Platelet factors and heparin

Answer

B

Explanation

Certain factors released by the tissues at the site of injury can initiate coagulation Process.
Calcium ions and platelet factor act in th e first step of coagulation which is as follows.
At the site of an injury . The blood platelets disintegrate and release a phosphoiipid,called platelet factor 3 (platelet thromboplastin)
Injured tissues also release a lipoprotein factor called thromboplastin.
(c ) These two factor combine with calcium `Ca^(2+)` ions and certain Protiens of the blood plasma to from an enzyme called pro-thrombinase.
( V) Prothrombiminase catalyzes prothrombin into active protein called thrombin.
Thrombin further converts inative fibrinogens into fibrin In the blood plasma.
Then the long fibres of fibrin form a dense network upon wound and trap blood corpuscles RBCs, WBCs and platelets to form a clot.
