Answer:

C-able to relieve haemophilia

Explanation:

Factor  V111 is a blood clotting factor;produced in the liver and body endothelial cells. It is usually  exist as inactive form  beacuse it is  binded to glycoprotein (glycogen +protein) called  Von Willebrand factor when released into the blood stream.

If absent in the gene of certain individuals due to mutations, it result in a sex-linked conndtion called haemophilia, where blood failed to clot  when blood vessels are damaged leading to profuse bleeding/ hemorrhage.

Ideally in a normal individuals  the inactive from of factor VIII are continuously circulated in inactive forms in the blood stream, until a damaged blood vessels occurs. At the injured site they  are converted to active from called  coagulating factor VIIIa,,by separation  from Willebrand factor, react with coagulating factor IX to initiate clotting. The factor VIII is a co- factor for  factor IX, and together with calcium ion,phospholipids converts t to factor IXa,

The latter converts prothrombin to thrombin. The thrombin convert fibrinogen to fibrin, which form a stable fibrin clot at the injured site to arrest bleeding.<u> </u><u>The cascade of events is lacking individual without factor VIII. Therefore  bleeding occurs. </u>

<u />

<u />

Consequently, symptoms of hemophilia can be relieved  by a functional factor VIII, because it will  prevent the deficiency in factor VIII in the affected individuals by acting as co-factors for the conversion of factor IX to IXa, to initiate clotting.

What is blood vessel in humans body?​
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Blood vessel, a vessel in the human or animal body in which blood circulates. The vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries, and their very small branches are arterioles. Very small branches that collect the blood from the various organs and parts are called venules, and they unite to form veins, which return the blood to the heart. Capillaries are minute thin-walled vessels that connect the arterioles and venules; it is through the capillaries that nutrients and wastes are exchanged between the blood and body tissues.
