Question

name the two clotting mechanism. which clotting occurs more quickly than others? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

i. Vascular Spasm:

The smooth muscle in blood vessel walls contracts immediately the blood vessel is broken. This response reduces blood loss for some time, while the other haemostatic mechanisms become active.

ii. Platelet Plug Formation:

When blood platelets encounter a damaged blood vessel they form a “platelet plug” to help to close the gap in the broken blood vessel. (The key stages of this process are called platelet adhesion, platelet release reaction, and platelet aggregation)

Answer 2

Answer:

The clotting mechanism is broken into 2 stages:[4][5][6]

Primary hemostasis: Formation of a weak platelet plug

Secondary hemostasis: Stabilizing the weak platelet plug into a clot by the fibrin network
