Question 13 • VA_Pharmacology_A

What is the difference between normal clotting and thrombosis?

Answer
A
Normal clots only grow to be a limited size, but thrombosis causes much larger clots to form.
B
Thrombosis is caused by an inability to form clots after hemorrhaging.
C
Clotting occurs at the site of an injury, but thrombosis can disrupt normal circulation.
D
Thrombosis results in clots at the site of injury that prevent normal healing.

Explanation

Normal clotting forms a clot at a damaged blood vessel to stop bleeding. Thrombosis is the formation of a clot inside a blood vessel that can obstruct or disrupt normal blood flow, even when there is no injury at that spot. Therefore, choice C correctly describes the difference.
