Clotting is a process in which liquid blood is converted into a gelatinous substance that eventually hardens. The aim is to stop the flow of blood from a vessel. The formation of a clot is the result of a series of enzymatic reactions that are triggered upon injury. The process involves:

a step of activation (wounding) followed by
a cellular response (aggregation of blood platelets) and
a molecular response (polymerization of the protein called fibrin to create a meshwork that hardens).
Factors released in the cellular response help activate the molecular response. The process is highly conserved across species.
