Which of the following prevents the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in an undamaged blood vessel?
- A Thromboplastin
- B Fibrinogen
- C Heparin
- D Calcium ions
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Heparin
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) Heparin,
Heparin is an anticoagulant that prevents the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in an undamaged blood vessel. This ction prevents clot formation by blocking the thrombin-mediated conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thus maintaining blood flow in undamaged vessels.
