Question

Which of the following plasma proteins is involved in the coagulation of blood?
A. Fibrinogen
B. Albumin
C. Serum amylase
D. Globulin.

Answer 1

Hint: The coagulation of blood is known as blood clotting that is a necessary process to stop the bleeding in which a person suffers an injury if a person’s blood is not able to make clot so that injury could be life-threatening.

Complete answer:
Blood protein is also known as plasma protein, which performs a different function such as transportation of lipid, hormones, vitamins, mineral activity, and involved in the immune system.
A.Fibrinogen is a blood plasma protein that comprises 7 percent of plasma protein, which involves blood clotting, in which fibrinogen converts into the insoluble fibrin component for the blood clot.
B.Albumin: It is also called serum albumin which comprises 55 percent of the blood proteins and it is the major contributor that maintains the oncotic pressure of plasma and helps in the transport of hormones and lipids.
C.Serum amylase: Amylase is the enzyme or protein that helps to digest the food and most of it made by the pancreas and salivary glands. To check the amylase amount in blood and urine a test is performed.
D.Globulin: It is also a blood plasma protein that comprises 38 percent of a blood protein that helps in the transport of hormones, lipids, ions, and assists in the immune system.
Hence, the correct option is A.

Note: Coagulation of blood prevents excessive blood loss during injury, platelets, and plasma protein are involved in the formation of a blood clot around the wound. The injury part activates the blood clot factor than the aggregation of blood platelets after that polymerization of protein (fibrin) takes place to form meshwork or network of fibrin that hardens. Some genetic disorders can cause dysfunction of blood clotting such as hemophilia, in which a person’s blood does not form the necessary elements that are required for blood coagulation that leads to minor injury cause of death.
