Question

what does coagulation do in the hemostasis process?

Answer 1

@Pixel @Elsa213 (1) vascular spasm ( vasoconstriction ); (2) platelet plug formation; and (3) coagulation. what is a simple way of saying these three things and a super simple way of explaining them?

Answer 2

Look at how I say it "Second platelet plug blocks the blood flow"

Answer 3

platelet I just say platelet not platelet plug

Answer 4

Vasoconstrictin is when the blood vessels narrow to increase blood pressure

Answer 5

and I can't explain the third one I don't know that much of what I does I think it supports the platelets with blocking the blood flow

Answer 6

Answer 7

help me

Answer 8

@woolyfrog Have you attempted reviewing a site such as this? https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/hematology-and-oncology/hemostasis/overview-of-hemostasis

Answer 9

I just want a simpler way of explaining these things and even reading this I'm still confused since the way they explain it is so hard to understand

Answer 10

@peace04lover

Answer 11

So what is the first step of hemostasis

Answer 12

vasoconstriction is that the name everyone calls it?

Answer 13

Hemostasis is the natural process that stops blood loss when an injury occurs.It involves three steps: (1) vascular spasm ( vasoconstriction )-(2) platelet plug formation; and (3) coagulation, Fibrin acts as a “molecular glue” during clot formation, holding the platelet plug together.

Answer 14

this is another question but the more blood flow the less blood pressure? so that means high blood pressure is when not a lot of blood is flowing?

Answer 15

Exactly

Answer 16

what does vasoconstriction do

Answer 17

explain it really simple

Answer 18

A vasoconstrictor is a drug or nerve that causes vasoconstriction (basically narrowing) of the walls of blood vessels.

Answer 19

so I can say "Vasoconstriction is when the walls of the blood vessel narrow" to my teacher.

Answer 20

brb I have to take the trash out

Answer 21

kk

Answer 22

I'm back so is what I said about vasoconstriction good enough @peace04lover

Answer 23

Yep it's great

Answer 24

what is platelet plug? Is that the name or can you call it something else I just want the name that everyone calls it @peace04lover

Answer 25

platelet plug formation occurs after vasoconstriction of the blood vessels but before the creation of the fibrin mesh clot, which is the more permanent solution to the injury. The result of the platelet plug formation is the coagulation of blood. It can also be referred to as primary hemostasis.

Answer 26

@peace04lover sorry I don't understand

Answer 27

A platelet is a cell fragment that circulates in the blood. Platelets are involved in hemostasis through the making of blood clots.

Answer 28

That's as simple as I can explain it :/

Answer 29

so platelet makes a blood clot

Answer 30

Basically, yeah

Answer 31

what is a blood clot

Answer 32

platelets get on top of each other and slow done the amount of blood thats coming out of the injury so you won't lose lots of blood

Answer 33

slow down*

Answer 34

Platelets are a factor of hemostais, they circulate in the blood, making blood clots.

Answer 35

platelets are a component in blood

Answer 36

okay so what do blood clots do they slow down the blood or stop it

Answer 37

the hardest one for me is coagulation can you explain that more simply

Answer 38

The are just part of it

Answer 39

They don't really stop it, they just go along with the flow C;

Answer 40

@peace04lover what is coagulation

Answer 41

In medicine, the clotting of blood. The process by which the blood clots to form solid masses, or clots

Answer 42

the blood clots form into solid masses?

Answer 43

No, the blood clots are also called solid masses

Answer 44

so what does coagulation do

Answer 45

It creates blood clots

Answer 46

"Vasoconstriction is when the blood vessels narrow and then platelets go with red blood flows flowing with the blood to clot the injury." thats my explanation

Answer 47

@Shadow I don't know coagulation
