Hemostasis
text:
In biology, hemostasis or haemostasis is a process to prevent and stop bleeding, meaning to keep blood within a damaged blood vessel. It is the first stage of wound healing. Hemostasis involves three major steps: vasoconstriction
temporary blockage of a hole in a damaged blood vessel by a platelet plug
blood coagulation Coagulation, the changing of blood from a liquid to a gel which forms the fibrin clots, is essential to hemostasis. Intact blood vessels moderate blood's tendency to form clots.
