The document summarizes the mechanism of blood clotting and its importance. It explains that when blood vessels are injured, platelets clump to form a plug that seals the wound. This prevents excessive blood loss and keeps blood pressure from falling. The clotting process involves platelets, clotting factors, calcium ions, fibrinogen, and fibrin to form a mesh that traps blood cells over the wound. Impaired clotting can cause diseases like hemophilia where bleeding is not stopped. Thrombosis and embolism occur when clots form inside arteries and block blood flow, which can lead to heart attacks if coronary arteries are blocked.

HEART ATTACK • the coronary artery is partially blocked. • cuts off the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. • extensive heart muscle damage can cause death.
