the part of the blood that closes a wound is called the platelets.
A blood clot can be a circulatory disorder, if it forms in an inappropriate place. For example, a blood clot in the large veins of the legs is a circulatory disorder. In the case of a blood clot that functions to stop a broken blood vessel, the clot is part of the normal human physiology.
Platelet cells are the component within blood cells that help control bleeding by helping blood to clot.

All of the above.
platelets and thrombocytes
Stroke is a medical condition where part of the brain dies as a result from a blood clot. The blod clot blocks the flow of blood to the part, depriving that part of the brain with oxygen and nutrients. As such, paralysis of body parts which that part of the brain controls, ensues.
No, thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel, which can lead to blockage. Thrombophlebitis is inflammation of a vein, often accompanied by a blood clot. Thrombophlebitis can lead to thrombosis if the clot breaks off and travels to another part of the body.
It depends what side of the brain the blood clot occurs on.
the part of the blood that closes a wound is called the platelets.
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.
