Question

Kamal, an 8 year-old boy, fell down while playing and started bleeding. Surprisingly, this bleeding did not stop and Kamal was transported to the emergency in order to be treated. What is the name of the process that stops bleeding after injury? Name its three mechanisms

Answer 1

The process in which our bodies stop blood flowing after an injury is called coagulation, which is the formation of blood clots around the wound. The three mechanisms by which this process happens are known as pathways.

The first one is the contact activation pathway, the second one is the tissue factor pathway, and the third one is the common pathway.
