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
Veins carry blood from the body to the heart.
Arteries carry blood from the heart to the body.
Your answer is: arteries

Answer:
Option C, Intrapleural pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure
Explanation:
During inspiration, the air enters the lungs due to lower pressure in the intrapulmonary or intra-alveolar than the atmospheric pressure. During quite respiration, the intrapulmonary pressure reduces to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg lower than that of atmospheric pressure. During quiet expiration, the intrapulmonary pressure rises up to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg higher than that of atmospheric pressure. This leads to lack of air in the intrapleural space thereby producing intrapleural pressure which is lesser than that of intrapulmonary pressure.
This difference in pressure (i.e higher pressure with in the lungs than the atmosphere) causes lungs to remain attached to the chest wall and hence looks inflated.
Hence, option C is correct
