Q

Describe the phases of hemostasis

A
  1. Vascular spasm
    - Damaged blood vessel. Body releases clotting factors.
    - Prothrombin becomes thrombin IIa.
  2. Plug formation
    - Thrombin IIa is important for activation of fibrinogen which becomes fibrin. Collagen plays a role here.
  3. Fibrin then polymerizes and forms clot during Coagulation.
