Fibrinogen:forms clot

Prothrombin:it activates protein c and platelets.

Tissue factor:co factor of prothrombin

Calcium:helps to bind the coagulation factor to phospholipids.

Christmas factor:forms tenase complex with antihaemophillic factors

Hageman factor :activates plasma protein.

High mol.Wt kininogen factor :support activation of hageman’s factor

Staurt prower factor: forms prothrmbinase complex with labile factor

Generation factor: precipitates in final common clotting pathway.

Fibrin stabilizing factor: carried out cross links of fibrins.

MATERIAL REQUIRED

Sterile dry powder of Tridax procumbence,fresh blood sample without anticoagulant,test tubes,stopwatch,etc.

Slide 10

Method

Take 2 ml of fresh blood sample in two test tubes without adding any anticoagulant.

Take one test tube as control and other as test sample.

Add 200mg of sterile dry powder of Tridax procumbence in test sample.

Do not add Tridax procumbence powder in control.

Note coagulation time of both samples.

Slide 11

OBSERVATION

Test sample clots earlier than control.

Slide 12

Result

Dry powder of Tridax procumbence helps in faster blood coagulation

Slide 13

CONCLUSION

Tridax procumbence have great medicinal properties and can be used for –

Wound healling

Haemophillic disorders

Bleeding disorders

Antiinflamatory property

Primary source of treatment in tribal areas where medical supervision is not available.
