• Tunica externa

• Tunica adventitia

Which of the following best describes the intravascular component?

• It surrounds the blood vessels

• It is the blood vessel through which the blood flows

• It involves platelets and plasma proteins

• It is not part of hemostasis

What is the primary function of primary hemostasis?

• Coagulation process

• Vascular and platelet response to vessel injury

• Formation of fibrin

• Blood clot dissolution.

In the diagram, what is the first step in the hemostasis process?

• Formation of fibrin

• Activation of platelets

• Injury to the blood vessel

• Blood clot formation.

Which of the following is NOT a part of the hemostasis process?

• A) Platelet activation

• B) Fibrin formation

• C) Blood vessel injury

• D) Oxygen transport

Which component is directly involved in forming a blood clot?

• Oxygen

• Fibrin

• Glucose

What is the primary trigger for the hemostasis process?

• Blood clot formation

• Vessel injury

• Fibrin mesh formation

• Platelet activation

What is the role of vasoconstriction in hemostasis?

• It dilates blood vessels

• It constricts blood vessels

• It has no effect on blood vessels

• It breaks down blood vessels.
