A)Hemorrhage
B)Formation of small clots
C)Damage to the endothelium
D)Brain ischemia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A)Damage to the endothelium is one of the triggers that stimulates the clotting cascade. This increases the presence of thrombin, which causes small clots to form in the microvasculature. If these thrombi and emboli impair tissue perfusion, ischemia of organs such as the brain can occur. When clotting factors are depleted and fibrin degradation products are released, hemorrhage occurs.
