Match the following terms with their meanings:
Haemo- = Relating to blood Stasis = Slowing or stoppage Haemorrhage = Bleeding from damaged blood vessels Coagulation = Clotting of blood
Match the following components with their roles in haemostasis:
Platelet plug = Primary haemostasis Clotting/coagulation factors = Secondary haemostasis Damaged blood vessels = Trigger for haemostasis Liver = Production site of clotting/coagulation factors
Match the following steps with their descriptions:
Primary haemostasis = Formation of a platelet plug Secondary haemostasis = Stabilization of the platelet plug by clotting/coagulation factors Haemostasis = Stopping bleeding from damaged blood vessels Coagulation = Formation of a blood clot
Match the following organs with their roles in haemostasis:
Liver = Protein production for clotting/coagulation factors Blood vessels = Site of damage triggering haemostasis Platelets = Formation of a platelet plug Heart = Pumping blood to maintain blood pressure
Match the following terms with their associations in haemostasis:
Platelet = Forming a plug to stop bleeding Clotting/coagulation factors = Stabilizing the platelet plug Liver proteins = Part of the secondary haemostasis process Blood vessels = Site of haemostasis

What happens to the platelets when a blood vessel is damaged?
They adhere to the inner surface of the vessel
What is the purpose of the platelet plug in primary haemostasis?
To initially plug the defect, but not as a long-term fix
What happens to activated thrombocytes in primary haemostasis?
They release substances to attract more thrombocytes
What is the result of the accumulation of thrombocytes in primary haemostasis?
The creation of a temporary platelet plug
