blood vessel is torn.
Handy dandy PLATELETS :p Scientifically called Thrombocytes.
thrombosisThrombus.a blood clotA blood clot that is attached to a vessel wall is a thrombus, A drifting blood clot is an embolus

Yes. If a blood vessel is weakened or has a growth, it can burst. When the latter happens, it's called an aneurysm.
The healing effect of blood clotting of surface wounds comes as a result of blood chemistry and its solids. The solids themselves are cell fragments known as platelets. The clotting action is aided by plasma clotting factors.
These cells are called platelets. A normal count will assist in clotting cuts in the skin or tissue, a high count may cause blood clots elsewhere in the body and a low count can cause a cut to not clot, causing the victim to loose to much blood.
A single-masted sailing vessel is called a 'sloop-rigged' vessel.
fibrinogen is one of the plasma proteins and it has the main role in the clotting process as it is converted by the effect of thrombin ( active enzyme ) into fibrin that accumulates forming a network that block the injured blood vessel
Coagulation begins almost instantly after an injury to the blood vessel has damaged the endothelium (lining of the vessel). Exposure of the blood to proteins such as tissue factor initiates changes to blood platelets and the plasma protein fibrinogen, a clotting factor. Platelets immediately form a plug at the site of injury; this is called primary hemostasis. Secondary hemostasis occurs simultaneously: Proteins in the blood plasma, called coagulation factors or clotting factors, respond in a complex cascade to form fibrin strands, which strengthen the platelet plug
Duyfken is the name of his vessel
A simple nick that doesn't involve a named vessel should develop a blood clot within 2 minutes. If you are asking about specific clotting times, this will depend upon the test you are running and the reagents you are using.
