To write:

The body’s mechanism in preventing blood loss when a blood vessel gets damaged.

Introduction:

When any blood vessels is damaged, it is necessary to control the flow of blood immediately so as to prevent blood loss. This process of inhibition of bleeding is known as Hemostasis.

This Hemostasis takes places in three phases:

1. Vascular spasm or constriction.
2. Formation of a platelet plug.
3. Finally, the formation of blood clot.
