Used as a comb. form of FIBRIN, chiefly Phys., as Fibrino-albuminous a., consisting of fibrin and albumen. Fibrinogen [ + -GEN], a proteid substance, entering into the composition of fibrin. Fibrino-genetic, Fibrino-genic [see -GENIC], Fibrino-genous [ + -GEN + -OUS] adjs., producing fibrin. Fibrino-plastic a., concerned in the formation of fibrin. Fibrino-plastin = GLOBULIN. Fibrino-purulent a., containing a mixture of fibrin and pus.
1835–6. R. B. Todd, The Cyclopædia of Anatomy and Physiology, I. 49/1. *Fibrino-albuminous matter.
1872. Huxley, Phys., iii. 69. It [*fibrinogen] is exceedingly like globulin, and may be thrown down from serous exudation by carbonic acid, just as globulin may be precipitated from the serum of the blood.
1876. Wagner’s Gen. Pathol., 155. Fibrinogens are not only those coagulating spontaneously, but almost all serous fluids. Ibid., 155. The humors of the eye … have no *fibrinogenetic property. Ibid. A *fibrinogenic substance peculiar to the intercellular fluids. Ibid., 228. Its quantity stands … in almost direct ratio with its contained *fibinogenous substance. Ibid., 155. A *fibrinoplastic substance belonging to the contents of cells.
1872. Huxley, Phys, iii. 70. The coagulation of the blood, and the formation of fibrin, are caused primarily by the interaction of two substances (or two modifications of the same substance), globulin or *fibrinoplastin, and fibrinogen.
1876. Wagner’s Gen Pathol., 259. Abundant admixture of these constitutes the *fibrino-purulent exudation.
