A

biconvex discoidal

87
Q

approximately 2 to 4 um in diameter and often appear in clumps

Q
  1. They prevent loss of blood by clotting.
  2. Platelets also have an incompletely understood role in maintaining the integrity of the endothelial lining.
  3. Platelets react to abnormal surfaces such as might be encountered in a bleeding wound. Such platelets are activated. Mass of platelets increases called thrombus.
