Hemostasis

Description
Stem Cell Transplants from Bone Marrow and Cord Blood

Bone marrow transplants are performed to replace cancerous red bone marrow with normal red bone marrow. The donor’s marrow is usually collected from the iliac crest of the hip bone.
Stem cells collected from an umbilical cord after birth are frozen and may also be used and have advantages over bone marrow transplants.

Hemostasis means to stop bleeding.
The process involves:
Vascular spasm
Platelet plug formation
Blood clotting (coagulation)
