Platelets and the process of blood clot formation.

Description
(a) A blood clot forms in two major steps: a platelet plug reduces initial blood loss, and a fibrin clot then seals the wound. (b) Formation of the clot requires several clotting factors to work together. These are enzymes, which catalyze a cascade of reactions that leads to the production of fibrin fibres. Several steps in the process are omitted here for simplicity.
