Please do NOT make changes to this Sandbox until after April 30, 2009. Sandboxes 60-80 are reserved until then for use by students of East High, Buffalo NY.
 FIBRINThis protein works in the blood to quickly blocks any damage to the circulatory system, creating a temporary patch that allows time for more permanent repairs. It is a strong protein that is inactive until activated when a cut or lacerition to the skin is present.
FUNCTIONFibrin in the blood works along with two other molecules. These molecules are platelets (small fragments of blood cells that circulate in the blood), and neighboring blood vessels which constrict when needed. These methods work together along with Fibrin to create scabs which stop the flow of blood.
