Platelets and the Clotting Cascade
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Platelets, cell fragments rather than whole cells, trigger a clotting cascade that amplifies through positive feedback, per Bio 2751, until a fibrin clot seals a vessel injury.
Show
Platelets aggregating at a cut activate more clotting factors until the fibrin mesh halts blood loss.
Watch for
The clotting cascade is a healthy example of positive feedback, per Bio 2751, not evidence of malfunction.
