Blood clot dissolution is stimulated by tissue thromboplastin.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tissue thromboplastin (also known as tissue factor) is not involved in stimulating the dissolution of blood clots. Instead, the process of clot dissolution (known as fibrinolysis) is primarily initiated by the activation of plasmin, which breaks down fibrin in the clot. Plasmin can be generated through the activation of plasminogen by various activators, such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA).
