Primary hemostasis
Secondary hemostasis
Fibrinolysis
- Vasoconstriction
- Platelet adhesion
- Platelet aggregation to form primary hemostatic plug at injury site
- Interaction of coag factors to produce fibrin (secondary hemostatic plug)
- Fibrin stabilization by factor XIII
- Release of tissue plasminogen activator
- Conversion of plasminogen to plasmin
- Conversion of fibrin to fibrin degradation products
