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.
Blood Plasma minus clotting factors is called the 'Serum'.

Plasma minus clotting proteins is called serum. Serum is the liquid portion of blood that remains after blood has clotted and the clotting factors have been removed. Serum is used in various medical tests to measure different components in the blood.
Blood coagulation in the body is aided by platelets and proteins called clotting factors, which work together to form a clot and stop bleeding.
A fragment of a blood cell called a megokaryocte, is responsible for blood clotting. This fragment is called a platelet.
blood serum is blood plasma without the fibrinogen or blood clotting factors
The chief plasma component to the clotting of blood is the platelet. The additional components include blood clotting factors.
When clotting materials are removed from plasma, what remains is called serum. Serum is the liquid portion of blood that is left after coagulation, containing water, electrolytes, proteins (excluding clotting factors), hormones, and waste products. It plays a crucial role in various physiological functions and is often used in laboratory tests to assess health.
The main proteins found in blood are albumin, globulins (including immunoglobulins), fibrinogen, and clotting factors. These proteins play important roles in maintaining blood volume and pressure, transporting substances, fighting infections, and clotting to prevent excessive bleeding.
Coagulation begins almost instantly after an injury to the blood vessel has damaged the endothelium (lining of the vessel). Exposure of the blood to proteins such as tissue factor initiates changes to blood platelets and the plasma protein fibrinogen, a clotting factor. Platelets immediately form a plug at the site of injury; this is called primary hemostasis. Secondary hemostasis occurs simultaneously: Proteins in the blood plasma, called coagulation factors or clotting factors, respond in a complex cascade to form fibrin strands, which strengthen the platelet plug
Hemophilia is a serious disease because you don't have the right proteins to clot up your blood( called clotting factors) If you cut yourself and you have hemophilia you could bleed to death if you don;t go to the doctor right away.
