The same process that creates problem blood clots leading to strokes are the same helpful processes that stops bleeding from a cut. The body sends platelets to the area. Platelets create a sticky cohesion between blood components and red blood cells. Macrophages rush to the area to begin cleaning up debris. The bleeding is stopped with the clot; healing begins. In a problem clot inside a blood vessel, the platelets' stickiness attacts more red blood cells. The blood components in the blood stream get caught against the clot, making it thicker. If the clot dislodges, it can travel to the heart or brain. Luckily, with a cut, the body reabsorbs the platelets and red blood cells that stuck together to make the clot. Soon, the clot is gone, the skin heals.

What components are needed for platelets to form a sticky clot?
Platelets react to tissue factor found outside the blood vessel when it is ruptured. The platelets, when activated, clump together with albumin, fibrin, and other clotting factors in the blood to form a protective clot.
What forms a sticky net in a blood clot?
platelets!!
What form blood clots when a blood vessel is cut?
Yes platelets form a sticky clot when a blood vessel is cut.
What will happen if platelets will be not there in the body be?
Whenever a blood vessel is injured, platelets accumulate at the site of injury and help in formation of a blood clot. The clot seals the wound in the blood vessel and prevents blood loss. But if all the blood platelets are removed from blood, blood will not clot and there will be a lot of blood loss.It may even lead to the death of the person
Do platelets cause blood to clot or prevent blood to clot?
It release an Enzyme that changes fibrinogen ( a liquefied fibre ) in to fibrin ( a solid Fibre )
How does blood clot?
When an injury tears open a blood vessel, blood platelts stick to the broken vessel. Fibrinogen gathers on the platelets and changes into a tangled network of fine threads, which in turn catches more platelts and blood cells. The platelets and Fibrinogen cause the blood to clot.
Blood platelets and collagen fibers that patch a hole in a blood vessel is known as a?
Hematome? Clot? Thrombus?
When a blood vessel is injured there are tiny what in the blood that helps clot blood and seal the blood from a cut?
these are known as platelets they are platelets are u dumb or have some type of something
What componet in blood makes it clot?
Platelets and clotting factors in the blood work together to form a blood clot. Platelets are small cell fragments that help in clot formation, while clotting factors are proteins that help in the coagulation process. When there is a break in a blood vessel, platelets become activated and together with the clotting factors, they form a clot to stop the bleeding.
What kind of cells are cell fragments found in the blood that are involved in blood clotting?
Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are cell fragments found in the blood that play a crucial role in blood clotting. When there is damage to a blood vessel, platelets adhere to the site and release chemicals to help form a clot and stop bleeding.
How do platelets fibrin and red cells interact to form a blood clot?
When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets stick to the site of injury and release chemicals that activate fibrin, a protein involved in clot formation. Fibrin forms a mesh that traps red blood cells, platelets, and plasma, forming a clot that stops bleeding. The red blood cells help reinforce the clot and provide stability.
The sticky protein threads that function in blood clotting?
A blood clot is a semisolid gelatinous mass of coagulated consisting of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets enclosed in a fibrin network. A great variety of structural proteins are present in a blood clot, for instance haemoglobin in red blood cells, antibodies in white blood cells, and fibrin in the platelets.
