Homeostasis works to stop blood flow when there is a break in the blood vessel.
First there is platelet plug formation where leukocytes of white blood cells stick and clot to block the blood from pouring out.
Second there are vascular spasms caused by serotonin releases from the platelets and the blood vessel muscles spasm's work to decrease blood loss
Lastly there is coagulation (most complicated), its where the injured tissues release thromboplastin and that reacts with PF3(aka phospholipids) to make a clotting cascade. Eventually prothrombin activator converts prothrombin to thrombin(an enzyme that really sticky) and thrombin and fibrinogen make fibrin which eventually forms a net (like a mesh) to clot blood

What is the process where bleeding is stopped?
Hemostasis
Is hemostasis the normal dynamic process of balance needed to maintain a healthy body?
No, hemostasis is the process of clotting. Homeostasis is the normal dynamic of balance.
The process by which blood loss is prevented or minimized is called?
Hemostasis
What blood clot is formed during the process of hemostasis?
Fibrin.
What is the difference between hemostasis and homeostasis?
Homeostasis is the healthy perfect balance Hemostasis is the process that prevents blood loss from the circulation when a blood vessel is ruptured by an injury.
Which life process in the human body is utilized when any others occur?
hemostasis
Does homeostasis mean to stop or control bleeding?
No, that which you mean is hemostats. Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of constant favourable internal environment inside the living body.
What Hemostasis is?
Hemostasis means control of bleedingit is constant internal chemical composition
How would a decrease in the concentration of calcium ions in the blood affect the process of hemostasis?
coagulation would proceed more slowly
What is the difference between primary hemostasis and secondary hemostasis in blood coagulation?
Primary hemostasis is the overall sequence of events that leads to the formation of a platelet plug, while Secondary hemostasis is the signal transduction pathway that leads to the formation of fibrin. Secondary Hemostasis is always a part of Primary hemostasis, but involves many clotting factors and other signaling molecules that are specific to the formation of fibrin
What are the steps involved in the process of hemostasis?
1. vascular spasm 2. platelet phase 3. coagulation 4. retraction 5. fibrinolysis
Does hemostasis means blood formation?
Hemostasis means control of blood flow. Hematopoeisis means blood formation.
