Abstract

Blood clotting is a complex enzymatic process, at the end of which plasma globulin fibrinogen turns into fibrous fibrin. Blood clotting factors make an important contribution to hemostasis. This can be seen from the fact that disorders in the blood clotting system can cause, on the one hand, bleeding, and on the other — thrombosis and embolism. In addition to hemostatic function, many plasma coagulation factors are involved in a number of other reactions that provide homeostasis.
