Answer:
Hemostasis is the response that occurs when there is blood loss and the barrier of the skin has been compromised.
Explanation:
Hemostasis involves the process of blood clotting that ends in the formation of a clot, capable of stopping blood loss from an injury.
When a superficial wound occurs, there is an injury to the skin —with involvement of the dermal barrier— and the rupture of blood vessels produces bleeding. Hemostasis helps to stop blood loss, so that wound healing and restoration of the skin barrier can begin.
