All of the following are the normal hemostasic response to vascular injury, except:
a. Endothelium
b. Stasis of blood flow
c. Platelets
d. Coagulation factors
The normal hemostatic response to vascular injury includes:
– Endothelium: It plays a role in both promoting and inhibiting clotting.
– Platelets: They aggregate and form a plug at the site of injury.
– Coagulation factors: They are involved in the clotting cascade that forms a stable blood clot.
Stasis of blood flow is not a normal hemostatic response. Instead, stasis (reduced blood flow) can lead to increased risk of clot formation (thrombosis) and is often associated with pathological conditions rather than normal hemostasis.
So, the correct answer is:
b. Stasis of blood flow
