A thrombus, colloquially called a blood clot, is the final product of the blood [[Coagulation|Coagulation]] step in [[Hemostasis|Hemostasis]].

There are two components to a thrombus: aggregated [[Platelets|Platelets]] and red blood cells that form a plug, and a mesh of cross-linked fibrin protein. The substance making up a thrombus is sometimes called cruor. A thrombus is a healthy response to injury intended to prevent bleeding, but can be harmful in thrombosis, when clots obstruct blood flow through healthy blood vessels.
