Blood Clots
Blood clots are a solid
mass of blood. Its function is to develop at the site of wounds to stop
blood loss. However, clots may form inappropriately within the blood
vessels, for example if the blood is flowing too slowly. Blood clots
within blood vessels can block the blood supply to certain parts of the
body. |
