When you cut yourself, you bleed, but the bleeding rapidly stops. Blood has a built-in emergency repair system that quickly blocks any damage to the circulatory system, creating a temporary patch that allows time for more permanent repairs. Three basic mechanisms are at work. First, platelets (small fragments of blood cells that circulate in the blood) clump at the site of the wound, forming a weak plug. Second, neighboring blood vessels constrict, reducing the amount of blood flowing into the area. Finally, the protein fibrin assembles into a tough network that clots the blood and forms an insoluble blockage. Together, these methods stop the loss of blood and create a sturdy scab to protect the area as you heal.  
This protein works in the blood to quickly blocks any damage to the circulatory system,
creating a temporary patch that allows time for more permanent repairs. It is a strong protein that is inactive until activated when a cut or lacerition to the skin is present.
