The steps of blood clotting are described in the term Hemostasis. Hemostasis is how the body copes and responds to destroyed or injured vessels. Hemostasis responds to these situations in generally three main steps. The first step Hemostasis uses is to constrict the places around the injury point of the vessel to stop blood from flowing through the injury. The second step is the process of activating cell-like particles (platelets) to help clot the blood at the point of injury to stop blood from escaping/ leaving that vessel. Now the third and final step of Hemostasis is the activation of proteins within the blood that help platelets with the clotting process. The platelets that help with the clotting process are actually composed and work
