Hemostasis refers to the prevention of blood loss through vascular constriction, platelet plug formation, blood clotting, and fibrous tissue growth. Vascular constriction occurs immediately after vessel damage, initiated by myogenic spasm, autacoid factors, and nervous reflexes. Platelet plug format

Hemostasis, crucial for preventing blood loss, involves platelet formation, clotting factors, and fibrinolysis. This process includes vessel constriction, platelet activation, clot formation, and fibrin breakdown. Platelets, produced in the bone marrow, play a vital role in maintaining vascular inte

The clotting cascade is a complex process involving intrinsic and extrinsic pathways that converge to form fibrin, leading to clot formation. Hemostasis is initiated mainly through the extrinsic pathway in vivo, activating factors that generate thrombin and ultimately convert fibrinogen into insolub
