When ice is applied to the injured part, blood clotting occurs. What may be the possible reason behind this?

i'm not sure exactly, but cold temperatures tend to slow things down. i'm guessing this gives the clotting factors in the blood a chance to get closer together, which allows them to form bonds.

it slows down blood flow allowing time for the thrombin cascade to occur. same for adding vitamin K though that spurs the cascade leading to faster clots

low temperate immobolise the plasma and the white blood cells start to form to stick together as there is a low traffic of cells movement. so they form a cohesive bonding
