When a blood vessel gets injured, the first event to occur in hemostasis is:
1. The endothelial lining is damaged, exposing collagen proteins to the blood.
2. The injured blood vessel is dilated by newly released chemicals to let in defense cells.
3. Platelets become "sticky" and a platelet plug is formed near the injury site.
4. A web of fibrin protein strands tightly interweave the platelet plug.
