Updated: 11/1/2022

Platelets are a component of blood which are involved in blood clotting which stops bleeding and stops infection. However, if clotting occurs during the normal circulation of the blood, the clot might lodge in some blood vessel, cutting of the blood supply to vital organs, such as the heart.

What part of the heart stops you from bleeding to death?

Is it true that platelets form a sticky clot when a blood vessel is cut?

The same process that creates problem blood clots leading to strokes are the same helpful processes that stops bleeding from a cut. The body sends platelets to the area. Platelets create a sticky cohesion between blood components and red blood cells. Macrophages rush to the area to begin cleaning up debris. The bleeding is stopped with the clot; healing begins. In a problem clot inside a blood vessel, the platelets' stickiness attacts more red blood cells. The blood components in the blood stream get caught against the clot, making it thicker. If the clot dislodges, it can travel to the heart or brain. Luckily, with a cut, the body reabsorbs the platelets and red blood cells that stuck together to make the clot. Soon, the clot is gone, the skin heals.
