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.

A protein in blood plasma that is necessary for the clotting of blood?

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.
Can blood be sticky?
Yes, blood can appear sticky due to its high viscosity and the presence of clotting factors. When blood is exposed to air or surfaces, it can dry and become sticky as the cells and proteins in the blood coagulate.
