Fibrinolysis Mechanism

Fibrinolysis is the process that breaks down blood clots in the body. When you have a cut or injury, your body forms a clot to stop the bleeding. Fibrinolysis helps to dissolve this clot once the wound has healed. It begins with the activation of a substance called plasminogen, which transforms into plasmin, the enzyme that actually breaks down the fibrin strands that make up the clot. This ensures that blood flow is restored and prevents unnecessary blockages in the bloodstream, maintaining a healthy circulation system.
