coagulation - 2025 ACF Winter

Question

You have just suffered a minor cut on your hand. For 10 points each:

[10e] Almost instantly, your wound begins to undergo a cascade of this process, activating platelets. In this process, blood in the wound solidifies in response to factors named for this process.

ANSWER: coagulation [or clotting; accept blood clots or clotting factors]

[10m] This glycoprotein binds to factor VIII and is impaired in a hereditary blood-clotting disease. Deficiency in this protein prevents platelet adhesion.

ANSWER: von Willebrand factor [or VWF; accept von Willebrand disease]

[10h] Long-term wound healing is accomplished through these cells that form collagen fibers and other components of the ECM. These cells are most active in the proliferation phase where they produce MMPs.

ANSWER: fibroblasts
