It will be my pleasure to help you. If you are in an university of higher education, I suggest that you do some research of the subject after I give you an indepth explanation on the subject of, "blood cloting".
As soon as the blood vessel wall breaks, a series of reactions activates the platelets to that the stick to the injured area. The "glue" that holds the platelets to the vessel walls is the von Willebrand factor, a plasma protein produced by the cells of the vessel walls. Collagen and other proteins, particularly thrombin, appear at the site of the injury, prompting the platelets to sitck togethger. As platelets accumulate at the site, they form a mesh that plugs the injury, they change shape from round to spiny, and they release proteins and other chemcials that entrap more platelets sand clotting proteins in the enlarging plug.
Thrombin converts fibrinogen, a soluable blood clotting factor, into long strands of insoluable fibrin that radiate from the clumped platelets and form a net that entraps more platelets and blood cells. The fibrin strands add bulk to the clot and help hold itin place to keep the vessel wall plugged. The series of reactions involves at least 10 blood clotting factors.
Please if you want to really educate yourself do some research in a book on the subject or else use the search engine on your pc. (Would be nice if you can find some diagrams related to clot formation).
