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.
The first response in the hemostatic process is vascular spasm, or vasoconstriction, which occurs immediately after a blood vessel is injured. This reaction helps to reduce blood flow to the affected area and minimizes blood loss. Following this, platelets are activated and aggregate at the injury site, forming a temporary plug. This initial response is crucial for maintaining hemostasis until more complex repair mechanisms can take place.
White blood cells pass through the vessel wall into surrounding tissue through a process called diapedesis. During diapedesis, the white blood cell first attaches to the endothelial cells lining the blood vessel. It then squeezes through these cells to reach the surrounding tissue where it can carry out its immune functions.
Neutrophils are typically the first immune cells to leave the blood and enter infected tissues in response to an infection. They play a critical role in the early stages of the inflammatory response by phagocytizing pathogens and releasing inflammatory mediators.
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.
Neutrophils are the first white blood cells to respond during an infection or inflammation. They are the most abundant type of white blood cell and play a crucial role in the innate immune response. Basophils, on the other hand, are a type of white blood cell involved in allergic reactions and inflammation, but they are not typically the first responders.

Vascular spasm
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.
I believe the first vessel is the pulmonary trunk which brings the deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary arteries and so on....

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.
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.
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.
The endothelial lining is damaged, exposing collagen proteins to the blood.
