What does haemostasis mean?
Homeostasis is the steady state physiological condition of the body. Maintains internal environment.

Which blood cell clot the blood?
Blood clotting in the body is known as haemostasis. It involves platelets, which are fragments of cells that form a plug over any gaps in the lining of blood vessels (endothelium). The platelets adhere (stick) to each other, and fibrin (a protein) is added to create a soft plug.Vasoconstriction - which is a the tightening of blood vessel walls, also occurs at the start of haemostasis to limit the amount of blood loss. This is caused by contration of the vascular smooth muscle.
Why do you pack the site after tooth extraction?
Routine packing of extraction sockets is done to achieve haemostasis (stop bleeding), and depending on the packing material used, may also be done to promote bone formation in the socket to improve the outcome of subsequent restorative treatments.
How does the excretory system help in homeostasis?
Excretory system is one of the main organ for haemostasis. It regulates the water balance, pH balance, salt balance. It regulates the blood pressure. It regulates the haemopoiesis. It produce active form of vitamin D. Vitamin D is responsible for calcium metabolism.
What do platelets function to?
The function of the platelets is to clot blood.There for it stops blood from flowing if a body part is cut. maintainence of haemostasis.(process which causes the bleeding to stop.) platelets secrete platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF)
What role does vasoconstriction play in haemostasis?
Vasoconstriction helps limit blood loss from a ruptured blood vessel, buying precious time for platelets and coagulation to form. Vasoconstriction is instantaneous but short-lived and platelets and coagulation are needed for a lasting effect.
What are some disorders of haemostasis?
Here are some disorders of haemostasis:1. Thromboembolic disordersClots are formed and persist in unbroken blood vessels. These clot may block circulation and lead to tissue death. Risk factors of thromboembolic disorders include atherosclerosis, inflammation, slowly flowing blood, and blood stasis from immobility.2. Bleeding disordersThey are abnormalities which prevent normal clot formation. They may be caused by thrombocytopaenia, impaired liver function, and haemophilia.3. Disseminated intravascular coagulationBoth types of disorders are involved. A pathological activation of blood clotting causes the formation of small blood clots within blood vessels. Coagulation proteins and platelets are depleted. Normal coagulation is disrupted while abnormal bleeding occurs. The small clots may disrupt normal blood flow to organs such as the kidney and cause malfunction.
What are treatment options for a carotid artery aneurysm?
The treatment options for a carotid aneurysm are usually Clipping or coiling Clipping is an open procedure, usually performed by a neurosurgeon. An inscision is made and a small clip is placed over the aneurysm. The purpose of this is to prevent blood flow into the aneurysm and possible rupture. Coiling is a minimally invasive procedure. A thin tube is placed into the femoral artery, located in the groin and manouvered into the carotid artery. This is done under fluroscopy (x ray) imaging normally. Small metal colis are passed through ths tube, providing haemostasis within the aneurysm. Both procedures have similar success rates, however, coiling is becoming increasingly popular as the recovery period is usually quicker.
