The story of how blood clots, is the story of rapid-fire reactions. The first step in the chain is some kind of injury to a blood vessel, that makes a rough spot in its lining. Normally the lining of a blood vessel is smooth.
Almost immediately, damaged tissue cells in the injured blood vessel wall release certain clotting factors into the plasma. The factors rapidly react with other factors already present into the plasma to form prothrombin activator. At the same time this is happening, platlets become sticky at the point of injury and soon acculmalate near the opening in the broken blood vessel, formimg a soft, temporary platlet plug. as the platlets accumulate, they release addditonal clotting factors, formimg even more prothrombin activator.

vitamin k
The main purpose of Vitamin K is to aid in the clotting process. Vitamin K is important as part of the blood clotting mechanism of the body.
Platelets help in the 'Blood clotting mechanism' of the body by forming fibrin polymers with the help of many factors.
platelets
Blood clots are created by a complex chemical reaction and are used by the body to repair damage to blood vessels. Clots can also occur due to lack of mobility and diseases that disrupt the clotting mechanism.

In the same way when you puncture a hole in a garden hose, some water will flow out but some will stay in the hose. The heart continues pumping blood, and the cut in the blood vessel will eventually be plugged by your body's automatic clotting mechanism.
clotting factors are used by the body
In cases of extreme trauma, such as blood loss, the body tries to preserve the internal organs by restricting peripheral blood flow.
The clotting of blood helps the body stop from bleeding profusely.
