Question
Describe the three stages of hemostasis.
Expert Solution
Step 1
Hemostasis is the mechanism leading to blood vessel bleeding. It is a procedure including several interconnected processes and the result of this cascade is the creation of a plug that closes down the blood artery that controls bleeding from its injured spot. It starts with trauma to the blood vessel's lining.
It stimulates the creation of a clot through a sequence of enzyme activations. This coagulation screens the wounded region, monitors and stops more bleeding during tissue regeneration.
