Why is it necessary for your blood to clot?

Answer 1

Blood clotting is an important recovery measure in the case of injury. A loss of blood means a loss of blood pressure which would then deprive the critical supply of oxygen to tissues.

In contrast people with hemophillia (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=hemophilia) and do not have the necessary clotting factors often bleed to death.

Answer 2

Blood clots happen because normal blood flow is necessary to supply oxygen to organs and extremities and to carry carbon dioxide away from these tissues, damage to a blood vessel could jeopardize life sustaining functions by allowing blood to leak out

Answer 3

If blood platelets did not cause clotting, a person could bleed to death through an insignificant wound, whether on the exterior of the body or internally. They can also help repair damage to blood vessels.

Answer 4

Blood coagulatates when you have a blood type and you mix it with a blood type that is not able to receive it. Thanksss

Answer 5

if you get injured and you start to bleed, if the blood doesnt clot and you don't form a scab you will bleed to death. that's why it is important.
