Natural anti-coagulants present in the body

These are of the following types:

1. Those that causes inhibition of fibrin (Fibrin Inhibitors)
These are basically inhibitors of protease. They causes the inhibition of coagulation proteins as they move from the site of vessel injury.

2. Those that causes lysis of fibrin (Fibrinolytics)
These are basically tissue plasminogen activators.
