AB Hemostasis  is  the  physiologic  response  to  bleeding  that  occurs  when  a  vessel  wall  is  disrupted  and  is  regulated  through  several  processes.  In  the  arterial  hemostatic  system,  the  first  response  is  the  activation,  adhesion,  and  aggregation  of  platelets.  The  platelet  plug  that  forms  is  stabilized  by  the  deposition  of  fibrin,  which  is  generated  on  the  surface  of  the  platelet  membrane  and  on  nearby  disrupted  vessel  surfaces.  The  extent  of  thrombosis  is  limited  by  endogenous  anticoagulant  systems  and  by  the  fibrinolytic  system,  which  preclude  the  development  of  thrombosis  beyond  the  site  of  injury.1
