Plasma prevents the loss of blood by causing clotting.

True or False?

The answer is False. Plasma that contains platelets prevents blood loss by causing clotting. The component in the blood that heals wounds by clotting is called platelets. Plasma, on the other hand, is the liquid portion of the blood which is left behind after all the components in the blood are removed (e. g. red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc.)
