Question

Which of the following is most similar to fibrinolysis?
A) Coagulation
B) Petechiae formation
C) Myelosuppression
D) Thrombolytic effect

Accepted Answer

Fibrinolysis is the process of breaking down fibrin, which is involved in blood clot formation. Thrombolytic effect is the process of breaking down blood clots, which is the opposite of fibrinolysis. Coagulation is the process of forming blood clots, petechiae formation is the appearance of small red or purple spots on the skin due to bleeding, and myelosuppression is the decreased production of blood cells in the bone marrow, none of which are similar to fibrinolysis.
