When a blood vessel is broken what is the body's first response?
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.

When tissue lining a blood vessel is damaged the first thing that happens is?
When tissue lining a blood vessel is damaged, the platelets in the blood stick to the damaged area, forming a plug to stop bleeding. This is part of the initial response to injury known as hemostasis.
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.
What is the first blood vessel of pulmonary circulation?
I believe the first vessel is the pulmonary trunk which brings the deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary arteries and so on....
What is the first blood vessel of systemic circulation?
The aorta.
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 The first step in tissue repair involves?
The first step in tissue repair involves inflammation. This is the body's initial response to injury or damage, where blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow to the area, allowing immune cells to remove debris and begin the healing process.
What is the first blood vessel to transport inhaled solvents?
Pulmonary Vein
Which WBC is the first to arrive at the site of damage?
Neutrophils are the first white blood cells to arrive at the site of damage in response to an injury or inflammation. They are responsible for fighting off pathogens and clearing debris to help start the healing process.
What causes a thrombus?
The patient may have disease within the blood vessels such as an inflammation of the walls of the vein (phlebitis) or hereditary blood clotting disorders. The patient may also develop blood clots because of other medical conditions.
Why does swelling occur in a tissue after an injury?
Swelling occurs in a tissue after an injury due to increased blood flow and leakage of fluids and white blood cells into the affected area. This response is part of the body's immune reaction to protect and heal the injured tissue.
