Question

(04.03 LC)

What occurs during the coagulation phase of the blood-clotting reaction?
O Platelets aggregate at the wound site, and the fibrin mesh forms.
Blood vessels near the wound site constrict to reduce blood loss.
Endothelial cells divide to regenerate the walls of the blood vessel.
O White blood cells aggregate at the wound site to reduce infection.

Answer 1

A. Platelets aggregate at the wound site, and the fibrin mesh forms

Step-by-step explanation:

During the coagulation phase of the blood-clotting reaction, platelets aggregate at the site of injury or wound. Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that play a crucial role in clot formation. They adhere to the damaged blood vessel walls and release various substances that promote clotting.
