If both assertion and reason are false.
When a blood vessel gets injured, blood platelets get clumped at the injured spot and release certain chemicals called platelet factors, which promote blood coagulation.
Injured tissues or platelets also release coagulation promoting substances called thromboplastins which help in the formation of an enzyme prothrombinase. This enzyme activates inactive protein prothrombin to active thrombin which further promotes the coagulation process.
Blood normally contains an anticoagulant heparin which is released from mast cell granules that prevents the activation of prothrombin in uninjured blood vessels. Blood also contains antithrombin which inhibits any thrombin formed accidentally. Moreover, uninjured tissues do not release thromboplastins, hence blood does not coagulate in uninjured blood vessels.

Assertion : Aldosterone is a steroid hormone and is important in the control of sodium and potassium ion concentration in mammals.
Reason : It upgrades sodium ion concentration in the ECF by promoting reabsorption of sodium ions from renal tubules and excretion of potassium ions in urine.
