Blood clotting

BLOOD CLOTTING When blood is shed out or collected in a container, it looses its fluidity & becomes a jelly like mass after few minutes. This process is called coagulation or clotting of blood. The clot is a mesh of thin fibrils entangling the blood cells. These fibrils consist of fibrin. The fibrin is formed from fibrinogen.
