The process by which bleeding stops when a blood vessel is damaged.

The initial stage of haemostasis where blood vessels constrict to reduce blood flow.

Small, cell-like fragments in blood that stick to the damaged vessel wall and release chemicals to initiate clotting.

A chemical released by platelets that causes smooth muscle in blood vessels to contract, narrowing the vessel.

A temporary plug formed at the site of injury by the clumping of platelets.

A complex process that converts fibrinogen into fibrin, forming a stable mesh that reinforces the platelet plug.

A protein in plasma that is converted into fibrin during coagulation.

A set of sequential reactions involving proteins called clotting factors, leading to the formation of fibrin.

The main pathway of the clotting cascade, triggered by tissue factor released from damaged cells.

The pathway of the clotting cascade triggered by blood contacting collagen fibres in the damaged vessel wall.

A complex process involving blood vessel constriction, platelet activation, and coagulation factors that stops bleeding.

The final stage of haemostasis where insoluble fibrin strands form a mesh, trapping blood cells and platelets, creating a stable clot.

A series of enzymatic reactions involving coagulation factors that ultimately leads to the formation of thrombin, a crucial enzyme in clot formation.

Vitamin K is essential for liver synthesis of several coagulation factors, making it crucial for proper blood clotting.

A process that occurs after clot formation, where the clot contracts, becoming smaller and tighter, pulling together the edges of a damaged vessel and reducing blood loss.

This process involves the breakdown of the fibrin clot by the enzyme plasmin, restoring blood flow to the damaged area.

A condition where blood clots form abnormally in blood vessels, potentially obstructing blood flow and causing various health problems.

The primary haemostatic mechanism involving blood vessel constriction and platelet plug formation, typically taking 2-7 minutes.

It refers to the time it takes for bleeding to stop naturally after a dental procedure, usually within 4-10 minutes.

Dental hygienists and therapists should understand haemostasis to manage bleeding during procedures, identify potential bleeding risks, and advise patients appropriately.
