Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What happens during the last step of hemostasis?
A
vascular spasms constrict the flow of blood
B
platelet plug forms, platelets adhere
C
coagulation form fibers, scab forms
D
thromus breaks away from vessel wall
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fibrin Clot Formation. The final steps in the coagulation cascade involve the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin monomers which polymerizes and forms fibrin polymer mesh and result in a cross-linked fibrin clot.

Detailed explanation-2: -The end result of primary haemostasis is the formation of a stable platelet plug around which a fibrin network can then be built. This same process is responsible for the pathogenic thrombus formation in patients with arterial disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mechanism of hemostasis can divide into four stages. 1) Constriction of the blood vessel. 2) Formation of a temporary “platelet plug.” 3) Activation of the coagulation cascade. 4) Formation of “fibrin plug” or the final clot.
