Clotting time assesses which characteristics of the Blood? Bleeding time assesses which characteristics of Blood? What are the consequences in distortions of the Clotting and Bleeding Time?

Clotting time is similar to PTT and helps evaluate heparin therapy. Bleeding time evaluates platelt quality/quantity. Neither is very scientific.
