This is different from a minority government, when the party with the most seats in a legislature has less than half the seats, and a coalition government, when multiple different parties work together to govern. Usually when elections happen, the parties try to win a majority government. This is because majority governments let them pass all their legislation. Sometimes, when parties have a very stable coalition for a very long time, people call it a majority government.

Hemostasis or haemostasis is a process to prevent and stop bleeding, meaning to keep blood within a damaged blood vessel (the opposite of hemostasis is hemorrhage). The blood could have problems with carrying out thus clotting process because of drugs (vitamin K for example) and certain conditions, like haemophilia or Von Willebrand disease.  It is the first stage of wound healing. This involves coagulation, blood changing from a liquid to a gel. Intact blood vessels are important to moderating blood's tendency to form clots. The word "hemostasis" (, "sometimes" ) uses the combining forms "hemo-" and "-stasis", New Latin from Ancient Greek αἱμο- "haimo-" (akin to αἷμα "haîma"), "blood", and στάσις stásis, "stasis", yielding "motionlessness or stopping of blood".
When person is wounded, the tissue at the wound is damaged. Many organisms can replace this damaged tissue with new tissue. This occurs in several steps, and is generally known as tissue healing, or wound healing.  In undamaged skin, the epidermis (surface layer) and dermis (deeper layer) form a protective barrier against the external environment. When the barrier is broken, biochemical events repair the damage. This process is divided into predictable phases: blood clotting (hemostasis), inflammation, tissue growth (proliferation), and tissue remodelling (maturation). Blood clotting may be seen as part of the inflammation stage instead of a separate stage. In general, after the wound is fully healed, a scar will remain. Even after the scar has appeared remodelling processes take place. It can take a very long time until this scar has reached its final form. Sometimes complications from wound healing can occur. A common one is infections during the healing process, which will lead to more scars or larger ones.  This process is not limited to humans, but it does not apply to organisms with a hard exoskeleton such as arthropods.
