The first step is platelets from blood vessels form a mesh like clot that prevents blood loss.
00:11
When soft tissue is injured, blood vessels are damaged which leads to bleeding.
00:16
So platelets are specialized blood cell which respond to the injury by sticking to the damaged blood vessel walls and to each other and form a clot.
00:26
This clot helps to stop bleeding and provide a foundation for subsequent tissue repair.
00:34
In the second step, massed cells release histamine that dilates blood vessels and it increases the blood flow to the repair site, further promoting clot production.
00:48
Massed cells are a part of the immune system and release histamine in the response of tissue injury.
00:57
Histamine causes the blood vessels to dilate leading to the increased blood flow to the injured area.
01:05
This blood flow delivers essential nutrients, oxygen and immune cells needed for the healing process.
01:12
It also contributes to the formation and stabilization of the clot.
01:18
In step number 3, inflammation occurs in the area as tissue repair begins.
01:25
Inflammation is one of the first responses to tissue injury.
01:29
Inflammation is one of the first responses to tissue injury and involves the release of various chemical signals and immune cells to the injury site.
01:43
Inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines attract immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages to the area...
