And that can lead to the opening of our capillaries. And that can lead to the collection of blood, the pooling of blood in those capillaries, which eventually causes the individual to go into shock. That decreases the blood pressure of that individual and the individual can ultimately die. Now, as a result of this reasoning we might assume that blood ruptures would be a constant life threatening situation if it wasn't for our body's ability to actually repair and seal off the ruptures in a very effective and very efficient way by using the blood clot and cascade. And one reason why the blood clot and cascade is so effective and so efficient is because it allows a very quick way to produce a great number of blood clots that can aggregate and collect and form a mesh like structure that keeps a watertight seal across that blood vessel and that prevents the movement of blood across that rupture. So this amplification and magnification of blood clots in the blood clot cascade is achieved by using multiple different pathways.
