                                                 THE CLOTTING MECHANISM
                                                 The diagram below shows the blood clotting
                                                 mechanism. Clotting comes about as a result
                                                 of a great many chemical substances taking
                    Wound                        their place in a specific order. A similarly com-

                                                 clotting process to a halt.
