~ act or process of forming fibrils
fibrillation
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ muscular twitching involving individual muscle fibers acting without coordination
fibrillose
— Tillægsord
– Engelsk
~ covered with fibrils more or less evenly disposed
fibrin
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a white insoluble fibrous protein formed by the action of thrombin on fibrinogen when blood clots; it forms a network that traps red cells and platelets
fibrinase
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ in the clotting of blood thrombin catalyzes factor XIII into its active form (fibrinase) which causes fibrin to form a stable clot
fibrinogen
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a protein present in blood plasma; converts to fibrin when blood clots
fibrinolysin
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ an enzyme that dissolves the fibrin of blood clots
fibrinolysis
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a normal ongoing process that dissolves fibrin and results in the removal of small blood clots; "drugs causing fibrinolysis have been utilized therapeutically"
fibrinopeptide
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ peptide released from the amino end of fibrinogen by the action of thrombin to form fibrin during clotting of the blood
fibrinous
— Tillægsord
– Engelsk
~ characterized by the presence of fibrin
fibroadenoma
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ benign and movable and firm and not tender tumor of the breast; common in young women and caused by high levels of estrogen
fibroblast
— Navneord
– Engelsk
~ a cell from which connective tissue develops
fibrocalcific
— Tillægsord
– Engelsk
~ involving or resulting from calcification of fibrous tissue
fibrocartilage
— Navneord
– Engelsk

fibrocartilaginous
— Tillægsord
