Answer to Question #198259 in Biology for Emmanuel Egbuagha

Question

What are the importance of anticoagulant?

Answer 1

Impaired activity of the blood coagulation system may result in the formation of blood clots in blood vessels. Migration of blood clots through the vessels can lead to serious complications as the clot disrupts the flow of blood to important organs resulting in heart attack and stroke. As a result, anticoagulant inhibit and prevent the formation of blood clots and decrease the risk of cardiovascular disorders.
