And the process by which our body repairs these ruptures is known as the blood clotting cascade. So an important property of our blood is its ability to coagulate. And what that means is to form these clumps we call blood clots. And these blood clots can bind to these ruptures aggregate along the ruptures and they can see law of that rupture in the blood vessel. And this prevents the leakage of our blood out of that blood vessel. So this process of coagulation, the process of forming these blood clots that seal off that rupture is known as the blood clot and cascade.
