Clot formation involves several key steps: First, vascular injury exposes collagen fibers, leading to platelet adhesion and activation. Activated platelets release chemical signals that recruit more platelets, forming a temporary "platelet plug." Concurrently, the coagulation cascade is activated, resulting in the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, which stabilizes the platelet plug and forms a more durable blood clot. Finally, the clot contracts to further reduce blood loss and facilitate healing.
