A blood clot retracts after it forms due to the contraction of platelets within the clot. When platelets aggregate, they release proteins such as thrombin and fibrin, which help to stabilize the clot. The contraction of these platelets pulls on the fibrin strands, causing the clot to shrink and become denser. This retraction helps to reduce the size of the wound and facilitates healing by bringing the edges of the damaged tissue closer together.
