Describe the events that follow the coagulation phase
What will be an ideal response?
Clot retraction and fibrinolysis follow the coagulation phase. The clot consists of fibrin, red blood cells, and platelets. The platelets contract, and the entire clot retracts, pulling the cut vessel edges together. As repairs continue, the clot dissolves through the process of fibrinolysis. Fibrinolysis is activated by plasminogen, which, in turn, activates plasmin, which erodes the foundation of the clot.
