Illustration of red blood cells (erythrocytes) and activated platelets (white) at the site of a wound. When a blood vessel becomes damaged, it will send a signal to the platelets who respond by travelling to the damaged area and transforming into their active form. The platelets clump together and, along with polymerised fibrin, form a clot over the wound. | |
