Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The 3 steps to hemostasis are
A
vascular spasms, platelet plug formation, clot retraction and repair
B
clot retraction and repair, spasms, fibrinolysis
C
vascular spasms, platelet plug formation, coagulation
D
fibrinolysis, vascular spasms, coagulation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Constriction of the blood vessel. Formation of a temporary “platelet plug." Activation of the coagulation cascade. 4) Formation of “fibrin plug” or the final clot. 08-May-2022

Detailed explanation-2: -Vascular spasm is the first response as the blood vessels constrict to allow less blood to be lost. In the second step, platelet plug formation, platelets stick together to form a temporary seal to cover the break in the vessel wall. The third and last step is called coagulation or blood clotting.

Detailed explanation-3: -The third step, coagulation or blood clotting, reinforces the platelet plug with fibrin threads that act as a “molecular glue” for the aggregated platelets. The resulting blood clot (fibrin mesh) is quite effective in sealing larger breaks in a blood vessel.
