Step-by-step explanation:

This health topic will focus on bleeding disorders that are caused by problems with clotting factors, including hemophilia and von Willebrand's disease. Clotting factors, also called coagulation factors, are proteins in the blood that work with small cells, called platelets, to form blood clots. Any problem that affects the function or number of clotting factors or platelets can lead to a bleeding disorder.
