Clots can form through a combination of factors, including injury to a blood vessel, which triggers the clotting process, and the presence of certain substances in the blood, such as platelets and clotting factors. Conditions like prolonged immobility, certain medical conditions (e.g., cancer, Heart disease), and lifestyle factors (such as smoking and obesity) can also increase the risk of clot formation. Additionally, genetic predispositions and hormonal changes, such as those from pregnancy or hormone replacement therapy, can contribute to clotting.

They produce fibrin that helps form clots
Platelets help your body form clots that help to stem bleeding.
Platelets and clotting factors are the blood components that help form clots. Platelets are small cell fragments that play a key role in initiating the clotting process, while clotting factors are proteins in the blood that work together to form a stable clot.
Anticoagulant medications like heparin and warfarin help prevent blood clots from forming and can also help dissolve existing clots. Thrombolytic medications such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) can be used to break down clots that are already formed in the body. Additionally, endovascular procedures like thrombectomy can physically remove clots from blood vessels.

Fibrinogen is a plasma glycoprotein which is converted to fibrin by thrombin to help form clots.
Platelets are the cell pieces that form clots and seal up cuts.
Yes, the circulatory system can contain blood clots that form to stop bleeding from a damaged blood vessel. Proteins, such as antibodies and clotting factors, also circulate in the blood to help maintain homeostasis and fight infections.
