The lower extremities of the veins are equipped with valves that rose blood ago do not return, because it beats the density of the Earth to climb up. The expanded veins are valves cannot slam closely, and it is therefore all the blood can not escape, and will shelve and stagnate. Then his must be a new part and circulatory system is disturbed.

From the stagnation of blood in the veins and vessels will gradually emerge in these clots (blood clots), called red, because they are made mainly of red blood cells. The blood clot to shape itself to the head and tail, the head attaches to the vessel wall and the free tail continue to adhere to the platelets.
