"Initiated by endothelial injury and caused by local and humoral mechanisms". Other helpers such as thromboxane, platelets releasing prosaglandin and neural reflexes all aid in vasoconstriction of the vessels.

Coagulation occurs last in hemostasis?

Coagulation is the final phase of hemostasis, which is the process that prevents and stops bleeding. It involves a complex cascade of biochemical reactions leading to the transformation of fibrinogen into fibrin, forming a stable blood clot. This clot serves to seal the injury in the blood vessel, allowing for tissue repair and restoration of normal blood flow. Hemostasis occurs in three main stages: vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, and finally coagulation.


Which chemical is released to bring about vasoconstriction during the vascular spasm of phase of hemostats?

During the vascular spasm phase of hemostasis, the release of endothelin causes vasoconstriction. Endothelin is a potent vasoconstrictor that helps narrow blood vessels to reduce blood flow at the site of injury, aiding in the initial stages of hemostasis.

The cause of hemifacial spasm has been linked to overactivity of the seventh cranial nerve nucleus that signals facial muscle movement. In other instances, hemifacial spasm may be caused by compression by a mass or abnormal blood vessel.


When you get a minor cut platelets in your blood stick to the wound cause threads to form a clot?

When you get a cut, the plateletes collect at the site to form a sticky plug. They secrete a chemical, serotonin, which causes the blood vessel to spasm and narrow, decreasing the flow of blood. It is what forms a scab.
