Blood clotting does occur for blood in uninjured blood vessels due to its insulation from air. Our bodies produce what is called heparin that prevents clotting of blood in vessels. Heparin allows our lungs to transfer oxygen to our blood. When blood is exposed to air it clots so heparin allows the blood to come in direct contact with the air we breath without clotting.

What do blood vessels do in the skin?
Blood vessels carry blood from one place to another.
In which blood vessels does oxygen exchange take place?
Oxygen exchange takes place in the capillaries, which are the smallest blood vessels in the body.
Why doesn't blood clot inside the body?
Sometimes blood does clot inside your body - if there is an injury or a rough place like plaque in the blood vessel, the body will form a clot around that place. Other than that, however, your blood has natural anticoagulants that keep it from clotting as it moves around the body.
Place in the tooth where nerves and blood vessels are found?
The part of a tooth where the nerve and blood vessels are found is called the pulp chamber.
Oxygen exchange takes place in which blood vessels?
Cappilaries
Most of the action of the blood actually takes place within what?
Most of the action of the blood actually takes place within the blood vessels. These vessels transport blood throughout the body, carrying nutrients, oxygen, and waste products to and from various tissues and organs. The network of blood vessels includes arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Explain the connection between the blood and vitamin K?
The prothrombin and fibrinogen of blood plasma are forrmed in liver with the help of vit.k.hence defisiency not only of these proteins but also of vit.k causes haemophilia in which blood clotting takes place so rapidly causes death of a patient.
Microscopic vessels that carry blood from small arteries to small veins are?
Capillaries are the microscopic blood vessels that connect small arteries to small veins. Blood exchange takes place in capillaries.
Most of the action of the blood actually takes place within these?
Blood vessels, specifically capillaries, are where most of the action in the blood takes place. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged for carbon dioxide and waste products. This exchange is vital for maintaining the body's functions.
What is the clot?
The clotting process takes place when Vitamin K helps the blood to clot. It can take place in any part of the body and is often fairly quick.
What type of vessel does nutrient exchange take place?
Nutrient exchange takes place in small blood vessels called capillaries, which have thin walls that allow for the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues.
What are the tiny vessels through which diffusion takes place between the blood and the blood tissues?
The capillaries. Check Wiki for "Capillary action".
