Hemostasis is the name of the response to broken blood vessels. This response occurs when blood ruptures or leaks out of the body's vessels. The body reacts with a vascular plugging effect that clogs the leakage of the blood vessel.

When tissue lining a blood vessel is damaged, the platelets in the blood stick to the damaged area, forming a plug to stop bleeding. This is part of the initial response to injury known as hemostasis.
Platelets are the formed elements that have a role in blood clotting, and would seal an injury to a vessel walls. The platelets are cell fragments. Platelets are also known as thrombocytes.
I believe the first vessel is the pulmonary trunk which brings the deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary arteries and so on....
The aorta.
The story of how blood clots, is the story of rapid-fire reactions. The first step in the chain is some kind of injury to a blood vessel, that makes a rough spot in its lining. Normally the lining of a blood vessel is smooth. Almost immediately, damaged tissue cells in the injured blood vessel wall release certain clotting factors into the plasma. The factors rapidly react with other factors already present into the plasma to form prothrombin activator. At the same time this is happening, platlets become sticky at the point of injury and soon acculmalate near the opening in the broken blood vessel, formimg a soft, temporary platlet plug. as the platlets accumulate, they release addditonal clotting factors, formimg even more prothrombin activator.
The first step in tissue repair involves inflammation. This is the body's initial response to injury or damage, where blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow to the area, allowing immune cells to remove debris and begin the healing process.

Neutrophils are the first white blood cells to arrive at the site of damage in response to an injury or inflammation. They are responsible for fighting off pathogens and clearing debris to help start the healing process.
A thrombus is caused by blood clotting within a blood vessel. It can occur due to factors such as injury to a blood vessel, conditions that increase blood clotting, or decreased blood flow. Additionally, underlying health conditions like atherosclerosis or certain medications can contribute to the formation of a thrombus.
The first events of the innate immune response to a wound breaking the skin include vasoconstriction to reduce blood loss, activation of platelets to form blood clots, and release of chemical signals like histamines to initiate inflammation and attract immune cells to the site of injury.
