blood serum is blood plasma without the fibrinogen or blood clotting factors
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are the smallest formed element in the blood. Made of cell fragments, platelets are part of the blood clotting process. Non-formed clotting factors also are critical to blood clotting.thrombocytes
Haemophilia A - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor VIII Haemophilia B - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor IX Haemophilia C - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called Clotting Factor XI -similar to- vonWillebrand's Disorder - an inhibition of clotting caused by a deficiency in a protein called the vonWillebrand's Factor
It is still blood, just without platelets. It still contains the red blood cells and plasma, which are valuable for use even without the clotting factors. Plasma without clotting factors is serum.
Hemophilia
Blood Plasma minus clotting factors is called the 'Serum'.
A substance that prevents or slows the clotting of blood is called an anticoagulant.
