Blood clots sometimes form inside the body rather than where the skin is cut. Why could such a clot be harmful?
If a clot forms in a blood vessel it would be harmful as pressure would rise. Also, if the clot completely clogs an artery or vein blood cannot pass and you could die from lack of oxygen/circulation.
Is it true that platelets form a sticky clot when a blood vessel is cut?
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.
