Two major factors:

Platelets ... fragments of white cells that stick to each other AND trap plasma proteins.

An entire series of plasma proteins that polimerize when triggered. Each step must work in order to form a good clot.

The initial trigger for both is the loss of electrical charge on the endothelium of blood vessels (normal result of damage to those vessels).
