Blood coagulation factors

Blood coagulation factors are specialized proteins in your blood that work together to form a clot, stopping bleeding after an injury. When a blood vessel is damaged, these factors activate in a sequence, leading to the production of fibrin, a sticky substance that traps blood cells and seals the wound. This complex process ensures that bleeding is controlled efficiently. There are about 13 main factors, each with a specific role, and deficiencies or dysfunctions can cause bleeding problems or excessive clotting, highlighting their importance in maintaining healthy circulation and wound healing.
