Blood Clotting (Coagulation)

Blood clotting, also known as coagulation, is the process by which the body forms a gel-like mass to stop bleeding. It is an essential mechanism for preventing excessive blood loss in the event of an injury or trauma. Blood clotting involves a complex series of reactions that occur in response to damage to a blood vessel. The end result is the formation of a fibrin clot, which helps to seal the damaged blood vessel and allow for tissue repair and healing. This process is mediated by various proteins and platelets in the blood and is tightly regulated to prevent inappropriate clotting within the body. Blood clotting disorders can lead to excessive bleeding or clot formation, causing serious health complications.
