Factor I = Fibrinogen Factor II = Prothrombin Factor III = Tissue factor Factor IV = Calcium Factor V = Labile factor Factor VI - Does not exist as it was named initially but later on discovered not to play a part in blood coagulation. Factor VII = Stable factor Factor VIII = Antihemophilic factor A Factor IX = Antihemophilic factor B or Christmas factor (named after the first patient in whom the factor deficiency was documented) Factor X = Stuart Prower factor Factor XI = Antihemophilic factor C Factor XII = Hageman factor Factor XIII = Fibrin stabilising factor
The 13 blood coagulation factors are: * Factor I - fibrinogen * Factor II - prothrombin * Factor III - tissue thromboplastin (tissue factor) * Factor IV - ionized calcium ( Ca++ ) * Factor V - labile factor or proaccelerin * Factor VI - unassigned * Factor VII - stable factor or proconvertin * Factor VIII - antihemophilic factor * Factor IX - plasma thromboplastin component, Christmas factor * Factor X - Stuart-Prower factor * Factor XI - plasma thromboplastin antecedent * Factor XII - Hageman factor * Factor XIII - fibrin-stabilizing factor
Platelets and clotting factors in the blood work together to form a blood clot. Platelets are small cell fragments that help in clot formation, while clotting factors are proteins that help in the coagulation process. When there is a break in a blood vessel, platelets become activated and together with the clotting factors, they form a clot to stop the bleeding.

the part of the blood that closes a wound is called the platelets.
clotting factors are used by the body
Intrinsic blood clot formation occurs due to factors within the blood vessels, such as damage to the vessel wall or abnormal blood flow. Extrinsic blood clot formation, on the other hand, is triggered by external factors outside the blood vessels, such as trauma or surgery. Both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways ultimately lead to the formation of a blood clot, which is a normal response to prevent excessive bleeding.
An embolus is a wandering blood clot.
its blood that's got alot of clot
A blood clot can start forming immediately after an injury. The speed at which a blood clot forms depends on various factors, including the extent of the injury, the ability of the body to initiate the clotting process, and any underlying medical conditions that may affect clot formation.
This is dependent entirely on how large the clot is, where it is at, how the person's blood chemistry is, and so on. The short answer is- each situation is entirely unique and assessed on an individual basis.
If blood is allowed to clot, the fluid portion (serum) separates from the coagulated portion (clot), typically within 30-60 minutes. This separated serum can then be used for various diagnostic tests, as it does not contain the clotting factors found in whole blood.
A blood clot in your cheek is life threatening and you would have to have surgery for the clot to be removed.
