Platelets (also called 'thrombocytes') flow in the blood with white & red blood cells. They are what gather together at a damaged site and connect or 'adhere' to one-another, forming a protective barrier. Once formed, other clotting factors floating in the blood literally get 'turned-on' when passing the site and are drawn into the formation. Fibrin, a fiborous tissue part, is the final stage of the clot. A fibrin clot is created when fiborous tissue connects to several of the clotting factors and forms a protective 'web' over the area. Ideally, this formation stays in place until the area is healed, at which time the clot disolves into tiny fragments and washes away in the blood.

What are the adaptations of blood plasma?
They can clot blood easily because they are broken fragments of red blood cells. They also help the blood to clot with nutrients such as: calcium, Vitamin K and Fibrinogen. Hope it helps!
