Have you ever had a scab? Its like that, only instead of the red blood cells clotting on the outside, they mess up and do it inside.
The word "clotting" applies to the coagulation of blood.
Thrombocytopenia is the medical term that refers to a deficiency of clotting cells, specifically platelets, in the blood. It can lead to abnormal bleeding and bruising due to the decreased ability of the blood to clot properly.
Platelets help with blood clotting
Petechiae are small red spots on a patient's skin due to a blood clotting disorder.
The chief plasma component to the clotting of blood is the platelet. The additional components include blood clotting factors.
Red blood cells do not initiate clotting. Platelets initiate clotting.
Hemophilia
Plasma is the liquid component of blood. It does not cause the clotting. The part of blood that causes clotting are the platelets.
Platelets are important for blood clotting. Along with these platelets there are various blood clotting factors which helps to clot the blood.
Vitamin K is responsible for blood clotting. Or is it responsible for clotting blood? Whatever way you want to say it, it's vitamin K. :)
Hemophilia is a genetic blood clotting disorder.
we can say that blood clotting is a function of blood because plasma is involved in blood cloting and plasma is a consituent of blood.
