Q

Activation of Platelets:

what is the mechanism in which a platelet becomes activated?

A

Thrombin (IIa) combines w/ thrombin receptor on the platelet surface

a process ensues and the platelete changes shape and releases mediators

The main 2 mediators are Thromboxane A2 and ADP

(these will later promote aggregation)
