Hemopexis

/ˌhɛmoʊˈpɛksɪs/ noun

Definition

The process of stopping or controlling bleeding; hemostasis.

Etymology

From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'pexis' (fixation or stopping). This medical term describes the body's natural mechanism for stopping blood loss.

Kelly Says

Your body is actually equipped with an amazing hemopexis system—when you cut yourself, platelets stick together, fibrin forms a net, and blood clots form all in minutes, which is why we don't bleed to death from paper cuts.
