What part of blood clots?
The part(s) of blood that clot blood are platelets. Platelets AND plasma proteins are responsible for clotting blood. The particular plasma protein responsible for clotting blood is fibrinogen. When you cut yourself or get a scrape or what have you, fibrinogens form long fibers that make long strands of fibrin. Fibrin, along with platelets, all clump together to form clumpy clots of blood help seal a wound. Amazingly, platelets also have within them somethings called actin and myosin which act kind of like natural stitches to pull the edges of the severed vessels back together and close small wounds. Of course simple little platelets and fibrinogen aren't enough for a big wound, for that, stitches are the best thing.
