Hemostasis is the name of the response to broken blood vessels. This response occurs when blood ruptures or leaks out of the body's vessels. The body reacts with a vascular plugging effect that clogs the leakage of the blood vessel.

Explain the blood clotting mechanism of the body?
The story of how blood clots, is the story of rapid-fire reactions. The first step in the chain is some kind of injury to a blood vessel, that makes a rough spot in its lining. Normally the lining of a blood vessel is smooth. Almost immediately, damaged tissue cells in the injured blood vessel wall release certain clotting factors into the plasma. The factors rapidly react with other factors already present into the plasma to form prothrombin activator. At the same time this is happening, platlets become sticky at the point of injury and soon acculmalate near the opening in the broken blood vessel, formimg a soft, temporary platlet plug. as the platlets accumulate, they release addditonal clotting factors, formimg even more prothrombin activator.
What is function of blood vessel?
First of all its "vessels" and second the purpose is to circulate blood all over the body because blood carries oxygen to the major organs and all that.
What formed element is the first to play a role in sealing an injury to a blood vessel?
Platelets are the formed elements that have a role in blood clotting, and would seal an injury to a vessel walls. The platelets are cell fragments. Platelets are also known as thrombocytes.
