Question

Which of the following blood components aid in the formation of clots?

• A. Platelets
• B. Plasma proteins
• C. White blood cells
• D. Red blood cells

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Platelets

• Platelets are blood components that aid in the formation of clots.

• Platelets (a type of blood cell) and proteins in your plasma (the liquid part of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury.

• Typically, your body will naturally dissolve the blood clot after the injury has healed.
