Question

Kira is a hemophiliac. This means that she does not produce clotting factors. What aspect of the clotting process should she be worried about not functioning?
vasoconstriction
net formation by fibrin threads
platelet plug formation
destruction of pathogens

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be "net formation by fibrin threads" .

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder in which a person is not able to produce clotting factors VIII (hemophilia A) or IX (hemophilia B).

These clotting factors are involved in the cascade of coagulation process which takes place after the formation of a platelet plug.

These clotting factors help in the conversion of fibrinogen (soluble protein) into insoluble fibrin which stabilizes the platelet plug and ensures that the wall of the vessel can be healed properly.
