A Delicate Blood Balancing Act
As you sit and read this article, between four and six litres of blood are flowing around your body. Have you ever thought about what is involved when this flow is stopped somewhere and a blood clot forms? Vascular haemostasis is the delicate balancing act between keeping blood in its fluid state under normal circumstances and forming a blood clot as an emergency response to blood vessel damage...
