PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Definition. 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 is your body’s normal reaction to an injury that causes bleeding. This reaction stops bleeding and allows your body to start repairs on the injury.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemostasis is a way of the body to stop injured blood vessels from bleeding. One of the most important parts of hemostasis is the clotting of the blood. Subsequently, the body needs to control the mechanisms to control and limit clotting.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hemostasis is the arrest of bleeding, whether it be by normal vasoconstriction (the vessel walls closing temporarily), by an abnormal obstruction (such as a plaque) or by coagulation or surgical means (such as ligation). The term comes from the Greek roots heme, blood + stasis, halt = halt of the blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -Coagulation… A complex process by which clots form in the blood.
