Hemostasis is the stopping of blood when one is bleeding, meaning that when you bleed from a cut, hemostasis is the process that makes you stop bleeding, to keep you from losing too much blood.

Answer:

Hemostasis refers to normal blood clotting in response to an injury. However, your body can also have too much clotting, known as hypercoagulability. That can cause many blood clots to form spontaneously and block normal blood flow. When blood clots form inside your blood vessels, this is known as thrombosis.

Explanation:

Hemostasis occurs when blood is present outside of the body or blood vessels. It is the innate response for the body to stop bleeding and loss of blood.
