BIOL 120 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Plasmin, Coronary Sinus, Pulmonary Vein
Document Summary
The process of repairing of the blood vessel. The platelets go to the wall where it is damage. They secrete chemicals that attract other platelets and thus adhesion and aggregation occurs when there is a cluster of platelets on the damaged blood vessel. When there is a cluster of platelets thus causing the blood vessel to shrink. Converts prothrombin to thrombin which converts fibrinogen to fibrin. Thus plasmin will eat the fibrin causing the clot to. Condition where u can"t do normal clotting. More specifically on the specifics of the blood clot. Palmary arteries are taking blood to the lungs. Pushes blood to the whole systematic circuit (head, foot, trunk) Needs more muscle and resistance to do this. Heavy resistance so we must generate a large amount of. Blood vessels end up being a capillary bed. Responsible for the increase of surface area. Pulmonary veins open up in left atrium and then it will start to contract.
