The blood vessels shrink so that less blood with leak out of the wound, platelets ( tiny cells in the blood) stick together around the wound which stop the bleeding (like patching a leak). The blood proteins and platelets join together and form a clot, the clot acts like a mesh to stop the bleeding.
