The process that involves steps to stop bleeding from an injured blood vessel is called ____ ?
A
hemostasis
B
hemophilia
C
hemoglobin
D
hematocrit
Explanation: 

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: -Hemostasis refers to normal blood clotting in response to an injury. However, your body can also have too much clotting, known as hypercoagulability. That can cause many blood clots to form spontaneously and block normal blood flow. When blood clots form inside your blood vessels, this is known as thrombosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemostasis is the physiological process by which bleeding ceases. Hemostasis involves three basic steps: vascular spasm, the formation of a platelet plug, and coagulation, in which clotting factors promote the formation of a fibrin clot. Fibrinolysis is the process in which a clot is degraded in a healing vessel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hemostasis is the stopping of bleeding from a wound, which is often the first stage of wound healing. Homeostasis is the body’s state of balance, or it’s tendency to maintain a constant, stable state in the body. Many body systems contribute to maintaining homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Haemostasis involves three basic steps: vascular spasm, the formation of a platelet plug, and coagulation, by which clotting factors promote the formation of a fibrin clot.
