A blood clot is a semisolid gelatinous mass of coagulated consisting of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets enclosed in a fibrin network. A great variety of structural proteins are present in a blood clot, for instance haemoglobin in red blood cells, antibodies in white blood cells, and fibrin in the platelets.

∙ 10y agoThe strands of protein involved in clotting are called fibrin. They are activated when a cut occurs in a blood vessel or capillary. They form a net that helps trap platelets and red blood cells and becomes a clot, or scab if it is on the ouside.

A protein in blood plasma that is necessary for the clotting of blood?
The protein fibrin is found in the blood and it has a necessary role in blood clotting.Thrombin, another protein, is found in blood. It is an enzyme that speeds up the rate of blood clotting. Thrombin and fibrin work hand in hand during the process of blood clotting.
What are the blood clotting factors plasma proteins and cells fragment called?
Injury causes damaged tissue cells to produce prothrombin activator. This, along with a clotting factor produced by the sticky platelets (cell fragments) at the damaged site, cause prothrombin + calcium to make thrombin (blood protein). All the while fibrinogen is stimulated to make fibrin (blood protein). The fibrin ensnares RBCs to form the clot with the platelets.All factors have to be there for the clotting to occur. Lack of any of them causes bleeding disorders.
How does the body form clots?
Step 1: Conversion of the soluble plasma protein fibrinogen.Step 2: Fibrin threads stick to exposed surfaces of damaged blood vessels.Step 3: Serum, a plasma minus the clotting factors is present.Step 4: Once formed, more clotting is supported.

Why do spiders not get stuck on their own spiders web?
Spiders spin two kinds if thread, a sticky one and a non sticky one. When a spider spins a web they use a combination of the two and memorise where each type of web lies. Then when they move around the web they only use the non sticky threads, and therefore avoid getting suck in their own trap.They spin their webs from two types of threads, one set is sticky and the other one is not. They know where to step so they don't get stuck.
