Haemostasis is the normal spontaneous arrest of bleeding from ruptured blood vessels. Normal haemostasis depends on a combination of events: the  vascular response, which occurs mainly at capillary and small blood vessel level, the platelet (or [[Thrombocyes|thrombocyte]]) response, which also occurs in capillaries and small vessels, and the blood coagulation response which takes place in the arteries and veins.
