Question

choose the correct answer. which term means \stopping bleeding\? hemoglobin thrombosis hemostasis ischemia

Explanation:

• Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen, not related to stopping bleeding.
• Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a vessel, not the act of stopping bleeding.
• Hemostasis refers to the process of stopping bleeding (either naturally or via medical intervention).
• Ischemia is a lack of blood supply to a tissue, not about stopping bleeding.

Answer:

C. hemostasis (assuming the options are labeled A: hemoglobin, B: thrombosis, C: hemostasis, D: ischemia; if the original labels differ, adjust the identifier but the term is hemostasis)
