    GlossaryHemostasis

    process of stopping bleeding through blood vessel constriction and clotting

    Hemostasis is the process by which the body stops bleeding at the site of an injury. It involves three main steps: vascular spasm (constriction of blood vessels), platelet plug formation, and coagulation (blood clotting). This process is crucial for preventing excessive blood loss and allowing tissue repair.
