Factor I = Fibrinogen Factor II = Prothrombin Factor III = Tissue factor Factor IV = Calcium Factor V = Labile factor Factor VI - Does not exist as it was named initially but later on discovered not to play a part in blood coagulation. Factor VII = Stable factor Factor VIII = Antihemophilic factor A Factor IX = Antihemophilic factor B or Christmas factor (named after the first patient in whom the factor deficiency was documented) Factor X = Stuart Prower factor Factor XI = Antihemophilic factor C Factor XII = Hageman factor Factor XIII = Fibrin stabilising factor
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.

coagulation
the part of the blood that closes a wound is called the platelets.
clotting factors are used by the body
Intrinsic blood clot formation occurs due to factors within the blood vessels, such as damage to the vessel wall or abnormal blood flow. Extrinsic blood clot formation, on the other hand, is triggered by external factors outside the blood vessels, such as trauma or surgery. Both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways ultimately lead to the formation of a blood clot, which is a normal response to prevent excessive bleeding.
its blood that's got alot of clot
An embolus is a wandering blood clot.
A blood clot in your cheek is life threatening and you would have to have surgery for the clot to be removed.
When fibrinogen is converted to fibrin during the blood clotting process, it forms a mesh that traps blood cells and solidifies the clot. The remainder of the liquid part of the blood, after the clot has formed, is called serum. Serum is essentially plasma minus the clotting factors, including fibrinogen.
Thrombus in medical terms means blood clot.
stationary clot is called a thrombus or a blood clot.
