Platelets help in clotting of blood at injured side. Draw a flow diagram of this process.

Platelets help in clotting of blood. There are 13 different factors which affect the clotting mechanism. A clot is a reddish brown scum made up of fibre like structures known as fibrins. The important steps in clotting mechanism can be explained below:-

step-1:- release of thromboplastin from injured tissues & platelets

step-2:- This thromboplastin helps in the formation of a complex enzyme thrombokinase.

step-3:- this thrombokinase converts prothrombin into active thrombin

step-4:-. This thrombin converts soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin.

step-5:- This fibrin forms a network at the site of injury which traps the blood & form clot.
