verihiutalehyytymä
Verihiutalehyytymä, also known as a platelet plug or hemostatic plug, is a temporary clot that forms at the site of a vascular injury. This process is a crucial initial step in hemostasis, the body's mechanism for stopping bleeding. When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets circulating in the bloodstream are exposed to collagen and other molecules in the vessel wall. This exposure triggers a series of reactions in the platelets.
The platelets become activated, changing their shape and releasing various substances, including adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and
The formation of a verihiutalehyytymä is a rapid process, occurring within seconds to minutes of the injury.
