clot formation
Wound sealing process
Clot formation is the process by which blood thickens into a semisolid mass, sealing wounds to prevent bleeding.
The body triggers clot formation when blood vessels are damaged, activating platelets and proteins that form a mesh of fibrin.
Excessive clot formation can lead to dangerous blockages in arteries.
