Vitamin k allows certain blood clotting proteins to bind to the membranes of platelets. When these proteins complexes assemble together, they can activate one another and begin clot formations.
when the blood is exposed to air or friction with a rough surface the blood platelets form with the destroyed cells a proteinic substance called Thromboplastin (enzyme)....the thromboplastin with the help of vitamin k and calcium ions activates prothrombin which is secreted by the liver to form the active Thrombin ( vitamin k also helps the liver to secrete prothrombin)
