When you get a cut, the part of the blood that helps form a clot is primarily made up of platelets, which are small cell fragments that gather at the injury site. They stick to the exposed tissue and each other, forming a temporary "platelet plug." Additionally, proteins called clotting factors are activated, leading to a series of reactions that produce fibrin, a fibrous protein that strengthens the clot and helps seal the wound. This process is essential for preventing excessive bleeding and initiating healing.
