A member asked:
What substance prevents blood clotting in blood vessels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood clotting: Blood Clots. Blood clotting, or coagulation, is an important process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. 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. Hope this helps.
