Indirect Fibrinolysis: The Protein C Pathway

The video tutorial explores the coagulation pathways, focusing on the regulation of fibrin formation through indirect fibrinolysis. It explains how Protein C, activated by Thrombomodulin, inhibits thrombin's role in forming fibrin clots. The tutorial details the degradation of clotting factors 5 and 8, preventing thrombin formation and thus fibrin production. It emphasizes the regulation of fibrin in healthy blood vessels and introduces the concept of direct fibrinolysis, which will be covered in the next video.
