The liver is responsible for the production of most clotting factors. Which of the following best describes the role of these cl

otting factors when a blood vessel is broken?
A) When a vessel ruptures, clotting factors become activated to permit the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin.
B) When a vessel ruptures, clotting factors are immediately released from the liver, find the site of injury and then bind to prevent further blood loss.
C) Platelets are made in the liver and store clotting factors. When a vessel ruptures, platelets release these clotting factors which stop blood loss.
D) When a vessel ruptures, clotting factors from the liver stimulate vascular spasms which decrease blood loss from the site of injury.

Answer:

A) When a vessel ruptures, clotting factors become activated to permit the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin.

Explanation:

When a blood vessel suffers any type of aggression, the body begins a process of homeostasis that prevents heavy bleeding by forming an aggregate of activated platelets, red blood cells and fibrin called thrombi or clots. The clotting factors released by the liver are responsible to form the components of the clot. Over 30 proteins will go through activation and modification to form clots to prevent blood loss.

Which of the three primary germ layers generates most of the cells in the developing mammalian forelimb? which germ layer genera
almond37 [142]
Germ layer is a primary layer of cells found in the embryo. The three primary germ layers that generate most of the cells in the developing mammalian forelimb are ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.
Ectoderm forms the outer component of a mammalian body such as skin, hair, etc. Endoderm forms the inner layer that comprises of the linings of digestive system, lungs and thyroid. Mesoderm is the middle layer that forms the skeletal system, heart, etc.
Neural tube is generated by the inward folding of the ectoderm. This process is called neurulation. Ectoderm also forms neural crest.
