There are different things that can cause blood clotting to occur, these are the following: thrombin, fibrin, and platelets. Platelets are also known as thrombocytes. They are colorless blood vessels that will stop the bleeding by making sure that they will clump and form plugs especially when they find the source of the injury. Thrombin is a type of enzyme that you can find in blood plasma.

This can also cause the clotting of the blood from fibrinogen to fibrin. Fibrin is a type of insoluble protein that can also cause blood clotting to occur. This will form a mesh that will stop the flow of blood. Those who are having trouble with blood clotting may have some issues with any of these three components.

There are three things that help with any blood clotting that may occur in the human body. The first is platelets. It is a cell that is found in the blood. The bone marrow produces the platelets, and they are extremely large. There are a lot of platelets, and there can be as much as 1,500,000 through—4,000,000 in one drop of blood.

The second thing that helps a blood clot is thrombin. It is an enzyme, and it can be used as a topical thermostatic agent. The third is fibrin. This is a tough protein, and it comes in the form of chains. The liver produces this substance.

Blood clotting in the human body is aided by platelets and thrombin. Platelet is a type of blood cell that helps stop excessive bleeding, especially when an individual has a cut on the skin. Platelets and thrombin both work by forming a clot over the injury to prevent blood from coming out the injured blood vessel.

The proteins in plasma also work with platelets to form a clot. Thrombin maintains blood coagulation by converting fibrinogen to fibrin. It is important to note that there are instances where clots are formed in the blood vessels.

At times, they form inside the blood vessels without any injury. When this happens, the clot might still be there without dissolving. This can lead to a very serious health issue. For instance, it might result in an insufficient supply of oxygenated blood to some vital organs in the body. However, those with a condition known as hemophilia can't clot their blood.

Blood clotting is an important process carried out by the body to prevent excessive bleeding when we have a wound. Platelets are a blood cell that races to the scene of the wound and works as a group to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury.

The platelets work in conjunction with fibrin protein, which meshes together to make a bloody bandage. With time and healing, the surface clot or scab will dissolve or dissipate, become smaller, and your wound will fill in and heal.

Clots on the inside of the body can be caused by a myriad of things like obesity, smoking, oral contraceptives, and chronic inflammatory diseases. These clots are harmful in that they can block an artery and limit or stop the blood supply to vital organs, causing a stroke, heart attack, or death. Internal clots do not dissolve on their own, and they need the help of blood thinners to dissolve them.
