EVALUATION OF HYDROETHANOL EXTRACT AND FRACTIONS OF Phyllantus amarus ON BLOOD COGULATION AND SOME BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF CARRAGEENAN INDUCED INFLAMMATION IN MICE

📄 Project Abstract

Blood is the liquid that moves through the vessels and includes plasma (the liquid portion, which contains water, proteins, salts, lipids, and glucose) and the cells (red and white cells) and cell fragments called platelets (Charles,2012). Blood is a necessary component of the human body, and the loss of the blood may be life-threatening.Hematopoiesis is the process through which blood is produced and then used to transport oxygen to tissues and cells. The clotting system in the human body guards against blood loss.Theprocess through which blood coagulates is known as Blood coagulation.It is a method of preventing hemorrhage by stopping the flow of blood and retaining it within the injured artery walls (Periayah et al. 2017). The second stage in the process of stopping blood loss from a damaged vessel, the creation of a clot is commonly referred to as secondary hemostasis.The first stage, primary hemostasis, is characterized by blood vessel constriction (vasoconstriction) and platelet ...
