How Blood Clots Form

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

When there is an injury that causes bleeding, the nearby blood vessels constrict (narrow) to help prevent blood loss. The spleen then releases platelets which travel through the bloodstream and arrive at the injury site to plug the leak. The platelets also create a reaction with clotting factors that react to form a fibrin clot. Once the blood clot is formed, your body’s immune system repairs the injury. At this point in the process, factors in your blood start to break down the blood clot.
