When collagen in the wall of a blood vessel is exposed as a result of injury, platelets adhere and develop long, spiny pseudopods which draw the vessel walls back together.

  • The blood vessel wall's structural component, collagen, is typically hidden beneath the cells that line the blood vessels' inner walls.
  • Collagen that is exposed when a blood vessel is damaged draws platelets from the circulation, resulting in blood clotting.
  • Additionally, collagen is essential for regulating blood vessel wall cell function.
  • They examine which pieces adhere to various blood vessel wall proteins. This enables them to pinpoint the collagen's essential components, such as those that regulate platelets and blood vessel wall cells.
  • Small blood cells called platelets assist your body in forming clots to halt bleeding. Your blood vessels communicate with the platelets when they sustain injury.
  • When there is damage, the platelets immediately create a plug (clot) to repair it.

Why is vinegar used in food preservation?
weqwewe [10]
Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria
