Blood is made up of several types of cells. These cells float in a liquid called plasma. The types of blood cells are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. When your skin is injured or broken, platelets clump together and form clots to stop the bleeding. When you don’t have enough platelets in your blood, your body cannot form clots.
