Hemostasis: The physiological process that stops bleeding at the site of vascular injury while maintaining blood flow elsewhere, involving vascular constriction, platelet aggregation, and coagulation.
Vascular Spasm: Immediate constriction of blood vessels following injury, reducing blood flow and limiting blood loss.
Platelet Plug Formation: Activation and aggregation of platelets at the injury site, forming a temporary plug to seal small vessel breaches.
Coagulation Cascade: A series of enzymatic reactions involving clotting factors that lead to the transformation of fibrinogen into fibrin, stabilizing the platelet plug into a durable clot.
Thrombus: A blood clot that forms locally within a blood vessel, potentially obstructing blood flow.
Embolus: A detached thrombus or other material that travels through the bloodstream and can cause blockages elsewhere, such as in the lungs or brain.
