A blood clotting consists of a plug of platelets enmeshed in a network of insoluble fibrin molecules. Blood clotting requires calcium ions (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) so the blood do not clot in the bag. This system also requires about a dozen other protein clotting factors. <ref name=Blood Clotting System>[http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Clotting.html ] Unknown, Individual blog, Jan. 11th, 2011.</ref>

Blood clotting system is controlled by antithrombin III, heparin, and protein C. Antithrombin III is a plasma protein (a serpin) prevents the formation of thrombin by binding to prothrombin. <ref name=Blood Clotting System></ref>
