ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hemostasis is the mechanism that leads to cessation of bleeding from a blood vessel. It is a process that involves multiple interlinked steps. This cascade culminates into the formation of a “plug” that closes up the damaged site of the blood vessel controlling the bleeding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Coagulation (or clotting) is the process through which blood changes from a liquid and becomes thicker, like a gel. Coagulation is part of a larger process called hemostasis, which is the way that the body makes bleeding stop when it needs to.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemostasis may be categorized into primary (platelet plug formation), secondary (formation of a stabilized fibrin clot through the coagulation cascade), and tertiary (formation of plasmin for breakdown of fibrin via fibrinolysis) concurrent processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood vessel spasm. Platelet plug formation. Coagulation process and blood clot formation. 01-Jul-2022
