What is a free coagulase and its significance?
Free coagulase is an extracellular toxin that reacts with a thrombin-like, thermostable substance known as coagulase-reacting factor (CRF) or serum factor. The reaction of coagulase and CRF will lead to the formation of coagulase-CRF complex where this complex indirectly changes frbrinogen to fibrin (clotting factor) and hence will form a fibrin clot. Furthermore, it is also use as the primary indicator of virulence among staphylococci. Its clinical significance is that when doing the coagulase tube test, the free coagulase will react with the plasma in the tube and hence convert the fribrinogen into fibrin which lead to fibrin clot formation in the tube. This is shown after one day of incubation of the tube, when the tube being invert, the plasma will not go down showing that it is clotted.
Is the relation a function?
Not every relation is a function. But every function is a relation. Function is just a part of relation.
The function f(x) x3 is called the function?
The cubic function.
If an inverse function undoes the work of the original function what does the original function's becomes the inverse function's domain?
Range
What are the ways in describing a function?
A formula or graph are two ways to describe a math function. How a math function is described depends on the domain of the function or the complexity of the function.
The sticky protein threads that function in blood clotting?
A blood clot is a semisolid gelatinous mass of coagulated consisting of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets enclosed in a fibrin network. A great variety of structural proteins are present in a blood clot, for instance haemoglobin in red blood cells, antibodies in white blood cells, and fibrin in the platelets.
What is another term for fibrin sealants?
Fibrin sealants are also called fibrin glues
The basic event in the formation of a blood clot is the change of what?
fibrinogen to fibrin.
Is fibrin found in the circulatory or respiratory system?
Fibrin is found in the Circulatory System.
How fibrin forms a clot?
Fibrin is a protein. When tissue damage results in bleeding, fibrinogen is converted at the wound into fibrin by the action of thrombin, a clotting enzyme.
A protein that reacts with fibrinogen to form fibrin?
Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen to form fibrin.
What is fibrin in horses and how can you treat it?
Fibrin is a specific type of protein that is involved in blood clotting.
When clot forms what does fibrin convert to?
fibrin molecules converting them into an insoluble meshwork - the clot
What is the function of the prothrombine?
In the blood coagulation pathway, thrombin acts to convert factor XI to XIa, VIII to VIIIa, V to Va, and fibrinogen to fibrin.
What is the medical term meaning destruction of fibrin?
Fibrinous. Fibrin can also be referred to as blood Factor LA.
Protein that reacts with fibrinogen to form fibrin?
The coagulation protein thrombin reacts with fibrinogen to form fibrin
The primary function of platelets is?
The primary function of platelets is to from blood clots. The formation of these blood clots help to control bleeding so there is not too much blood loss. To form a blood clot, platelets clump together using fibrinogen as an adhesive.
