The primary anticoagulant substance in blood is heparin. Heparin is a naturally occurring anticoagulant produced by basophils and mast cells. It prevents the formation of clots and extension of existing clots within the blood. Another important anticoagulant present in the blood is antithrombin III, which inactivates several enzymes of the coagulation system. These substances help maintain the fluidity of blood and prevent pathological clotting.
