When these vessels are damaged, there are three basic mechanisms that promote hemostasis or the stoppage of bleeding. Following damage, there is an immediate reflex that promotes vasoconstriction, thus diminishing blood loss.

Hemostasis, the arrest of bleeding from an injured blood vessel, requires the combined activity of vascular, platelet, and plasma factors. Regulatory mechanisms counterbalance the tendency of clots to form. Hemostatic abnormalities can lead to excessive bleeding or thrombosis.

Hemostasis is the body's way of stopping injured blood vessels from bleeding. Hemostasis includes clotting of the blood. Too much clotting can block blood vessels that are not bleeding; consequently, the body has control mechanisms to limit clotting and dissolve clots that are no longer needed.
