foto final do coágulo com Clôves representando a proteína Von Willebrand que junta as plaquetas (os outros meninos) e a rede de fibrina encima deles! (era uma rede de pescar) COAGULOU!!!COAGULOU! gritaram no final….!
This is how ended a short Dramatization that some kids and I at the hospital did few years ago.
The play was about ” what happens inside your body when you BLEED ?”
So after some minutes the kids were the Platelets, the clotting factors represented by a Net and …the CLOT was formed! this is a “real” CLOT with the fibrin net and red cells! 🙂
This is how it really looks in our blood… 
ONCE YOU play the role of A PLATELET, or you are a fibrin net YOU NEVER FORGET HOW IT WORKS…dramatizing is useful in teaching complex issues like blood clotting process.
