Primary hemostasis is a procoagulation
forming process associated with initiation and formation of
platelet plug.
Secondary hemostasis is a
procoagulation forming process associated with propagation of
clotting process via extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation cascade
pathways.
Fibrinolysis is the enzymatic break
down of fibrin in blood clots.
Inhibitors to coagulation factors,
known as circulating anti-coagulants, are antibodies that
neutralize specific clotting proteins, thereby interfering with
their normal function.
