Platelets (a kind of blood cell) and proteins in plasma (blood&#8217;s liquid component) work together to avoid bleeding by creating a clot around the wound.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> Once the damage has healed, the body will usually remove the blood clot on its own.
