ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals to the platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug (clot) to fix the damage.

Detailed explanation-2: -The platelets change shape and become stickier. This allows them to attach to the vessel wall and clump together into a plug. The blood clot forms. Clotting factors in your blood are normally turned off so that you do not form abnormal blood clots.

Detailed explanation-3: -Platelets play a major role in blood clotting. Normally, when one of your blood vessels is injured, you start to bleed. Your platelets will clot (clump together) to plug the hole in the blood vessel and stop the bleeding.

Detailed explanation-4: -Platelets (a type of blood cell) and proteins in your plasma (the liquid part of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury.

Detailed explanation-5: -Blood clotting normally occurs when there is damage to a blood vessel. Platelets immediately begin to adhere to the cut edges of the vessel and release chemicals to attract even more platelets. A platelet plug is formed, and the external bleeding stops.
