Answer:

Decomposer

Explanation:

Decomposers are the heterotrophs that feed on dead and decaying bodies of living beings. During the process, decomposers break down the complex organic materials present in the dead and decaying matter into the simpler elements. These simpler elements are then released into the environment. Decomposers serve to recycle the matter back into the food web and biogeochemical cycles and do not allow it to be trapped in the dead and decaying matter.

Clotting cascade refers to the series of reactions which take place simultaneously and result in blood clotting. The clotting cascade is a complex set of negative feed back mechanism which is used by the human body to maintain homeostasis. The clotting cascade can be triggered either by intrinsic or extrinsic release of chemical mediators. The reaction occur in this order:
Intrinsic factor < activation of common clotting pathway < platelet lipids are released < prothrombin < fibrinogen < fibrin formation < stabilized fibrin clot.
Two examples of anticoagulant medication that affect the pathway are heparin and warfarin
