The primary function of platelets is to from blood clots. The formation of these blood clots help to control bleeding so there is not too much blood loss. To form a blood clot, platelets clump together using fibrinogen as an adhesive.

Fibrinogen is important for the blood coagulation.
platelets help in conversion of fibrinogen, a soluble plasma protein into insoluble form fibrin. The fibrin threads entangle with red blood cells and other platelets in the are of damaged tissue, ultimately forming a blood clot. When fibrinogen is transformed into fibrin and its fibires separate the underlying matter is called serum.
A protein produced by the liver and play as a key role in the inflammatory response. This protein helps stop bleeding by helping blood clots to form. Fibrinogen converted by thrombin into fibrin during blood coagulation.
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.
The blood serum is created with the blood plasma alone minus the platelets, blood cells and fibrinogen.
