MICROANATOMY

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: -Vitamin K helps to make various proteins that are needed for blood clotting and the building of bones. Prothrombin is a vitamin K-dependent protein directly involved with blood clotting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins on the exterior of your platelet walls are sticky to help it adhere to your blood vessels. When actively clotting, platelets extend filaments that resemble legs on a spider. These legs make contact with the broken blood vessel and other clotting factors to seal the damage and stop the bleeding.
