What is Blood Clotting Mechanism Explained about?

Blood clotting is a complex series of biochemical reactions that transforms fibrinogen into fibrin to form clots and plug leaks in damaged blood vessels. This prevents blood loss and maintains blood pressure. Problems can arise if any step is defective, leading to excessive bleeding (haemophilia) or internal clotting (thrombosis). The mechanism involves platelets sticking to exposed tissues and releasing clotting factors, then thrombin converting fibrinogen to fibrin to form the clot.
