(click to select)

Explanation:

1. There are three main hemostatic mechanisms: vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, and blood coagulation.
2. Vascular spasm is the first response to a blood vessel injury, constricting the vessel to reduce blood loss.
3. In platelet plug formation, platelets aggregate (clump together) at the site of injury and undergo degranulation.
4. Degranulation of platelets releases substances that promote hemostasis.
5. Coagulation is the final step in hemostasis, where blood is converted into a gel - like clot to prevent excessive blood loss.

Answer:

1. three
