What helps form blood clots to stop the flow of blood when a blood vesseln is cut?
Platelets.
Do blood clots form in the veins and arteries?
Not in a healthy person, unless there is a cut in the blood vessel. Someone with high cholesterol or other health problems might have a clot occur otherwise, but those will typically be in capillaries, as they are more narrow.
How do blood clots endanger a person's health?
When a blood clot forms in a blood vessel, it may cut off or severely reduce blood flow to parts of the body that are served by that blood vessel. This event can cause serious damage to those parts
Stops red cell escaping from a cut?
Platelets in the blood recognize the cut in a blood vessel and form a temporary plug to stop the red blood cells from escaping. This process is part of the body's natural clotting mechanism to prevent excessive bleeding. Factors such as fibrinogen then help to strengthen the clot and allow the wound to heal.

Why Do We Bleed When We Get Cut?
When we get cut, blood flows out of the wound to help cleanse it from debris and bacteria. This is our body's way of protecting us from infection and promoting healing. Blood contains platelets that form blood clots to stop the bleeding.
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.
How fast do blood clots form?
As fast as it takes a cut to close/stop bleeding. This usually takes about 5-7mins
What causes blood clots?
Platelets form blood clots when you have a cut and start bleeding. They rush up to where the cut is and form a clot to help prevent a massive loss of blood. People who either don't have enough platelets or none at all have a condition known as ITP or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which causes a person to have trouble trying to stop an injury (Example: cuts) from bleeding.
Why are platelets important in physical activitysports?
platelets form blood clotting, so when a performer has an injury, such as a cut or graze, platelets in the blood form fibres and (blood clots, preventing blood flow) and a scab is formed over the wound to prevent infection.
