Question

What are the stages of hemostasis?

Answer 1

Hemostasis:

1. Hemostasis is the mechanism that leads to the stoppage of bleeding from a blood vessel.
2. It is a process that involves multiple interdependent steps.
3. This cascade results in the formation of a “plug” that closes up the damaged site of the blood vessel.
4. It begins with trauma to the lining of the blood vessel

The various stages of hemostasis are:

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.
