1. hemostasis

   Hemostasis is a physiological response that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. It involves a complex process that includes blood vessel constriction, platelet aggregation, and clot formation to seal the site of injury and achieve a balance between bleeding and clotting. It comprises three critical steps: primary hemostasis (platelet plug formation), secondary hemostasis (fibrin clot formation), and fibrinolysis (clot dissolution).

1. Hemostasis

   Hemostasis or haemostasis is a process which causes bleeding to stop, meaning to keep blood within a damaged blood vessel. It is the first stage of wound healing. Most of the time this includes blood changing from a liquid to a solid state. All situations that may lead to hemostasis are portrayed by the Virchow's triad. Intact blood vessels are central to moderating blood's tendency to clot. The endothelial cells of intact vessels prevent blood clotting with a heparin-like molecule and thrombomodulin and prevent platelet aggregation with nitric oxide and prostacyclin. When endothelial injury occurs, the endothelial cells stop secretion of coagulation and aggregation inhibitors and instead secrete von Willebrand factor which initiate the maintenance of hemostasis after injury. Hemostasis has three major steps: 1 vasoconstriction, 2 temporary blockage of a break by a platelet plug, and 3 blood coagulation, or formation of a clot that seals the hole until tissues are repaired.

1. Hemostasis

   The process which spontaneously arrests the flow of BLOOD from vessels carrying blood under pressure. It is accomplished by contraction of the vessels, adhesion and aggregation of formed blood elements (eg. ERYTHROCYTE AGGREGATION), and the process of BLOOD COAGULATION.
