Once a clot has served its purpose, it is removed by the process of:
A)hemolysis
B)thrombosis
C)fibrinolysis
D)clot retraction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fibrinolysis is the process by which a clot is broken down and removed. This process is triggered by plasmin, which dissolves the fibrin meshwork that makes up the clot. Hemolysis refers to the rupture of red blood cells and is not involved in clot removal. Thrombosis is the formation of a clot, not its removal. Clot retraction is a process by which the clot contracts and becomes denser, but it is not involved in the removal of the clot.
