Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The surface of the endothelium produces plasma protease inhibitors to resist clot formation. Thrombomodulin is a membrane thrombin-binding protein matter and is converted to activated protein C on the surface of endothelial cells. Protein C in the circulation binds to thrombomodulin. Activated protein C inhibits the adhesion of neutrophils to the endothelium.
