Platellets have the ability to clump together to form a blood clot to stop bleeding when an injury occurs. When functioning properly, platellets do this when cuts or injuries occur. They should not clump together inside a blood vessel, where they can cause problems such as a heart attack, stroke, blood clot in leg, or break off and travel through the blood, known as emboli.
