Blood coagulation pathways in vivo showing the central role played by thrombin. Coagulation (also known as clotting) is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.
Blood Clotting (Coagulation) - As described below: Following damage to a blood vessel, vascular spasm occurs to reduce blood loss while other mechanisms also take effect: Blood platelets congregate at the site of damage and amass to form a platelet plug.lood normally remains in its liquid state while it is within the blood vessels but when it leaves them the blood may thicken and form a gel (coagulation). Blood clotting (technically blood coagulation) is the process by which (liquid) blood is transformed into a solid state.
