What would occur if the muscle tissue failed within a damaged blood vessel? Vascular spasm would not occur, resulting in excessive blood loss. Coagulation would not occur, preventing fibrin formation. Platelet aggregation would not occur, preventing plug formation. Endothelial cell division would not occur, preventing wound healing.
Adi S.
Place the correct terms of the Vascular Phase in the correct order: 1. A cut occurs across the vessel wall. 2. The endothelial cells of the vessel begin to release chemical factors and local hormones, including Endothelins, which is a peptide hormone (Hint: This release of a peptide hormone would then trigger cells to contract). 3. The endothelial cell plasma membranes that were damaged due to being cut become sticky. 4. The smooth muscle cells of the vessel tighten, and this exposes the underlying basement membrane to the bloodstream. This constriction slows blood loss.
