Hemostasis

Hemostasis is how your body stops itself from bleeding when you get hurt. Think of it like a band-aid for your insides!

First, there are little things in your blood called platelets. When you get a cut, these platelets stick together and form a little plug to block the hole.

Next, your body sends out signals to tell your blood to get thicker and more sticky. This helps hold the platelets together and make them stronger, like glue.

Finally, your body makes something called a clot. A clot is like a blanket that covers the cut and helps stop any more blood from coming out. This clot stays there until the cut gets better and the body can start to fix itself.

So, hemostasis is like a superhero power that helps keep you safe and prevents you from bleeding too much when you get hurt.
