Blood: Its Composition and Function
blood vessels. As more and more platelets stick, a clot is created to seal the hole in the vessel. Once the temporary clot is in place, fibrinogen in the plasma is converted into ling strands of fibrin, forming a mesh that traps more platelets and blood cells. This permanent clot stops the leakage of blood and allows time for the injury to heal.
