Transcript text: A medical term that means "capable of producing a clot."
Multiple Choice
anticoagulant
thrombolytic
hypercaagulability
Solution
The answer is the third one: hypercoagulability.
Explanation for each option:
Anticoagulant: This term refers to a substance that prevents blood clotting. It is the opposite of what the question is asking for, as it does not mean "capable of producing a clot."
Thrombolytic: This term refers to a substance or process that breaks down clots. It is not related to the production of clots but rather to their dissolution.
Hypercoagulability: This term refers to a condition where there is an increased tendency for blood to clot. It directly relates to the capability of producing a clot, making it the correct answer.
In summary, the correct answer is hypercoagulability, as it describes a state where the blood is more prone to clotting.
