Q

platelet plug formation

A
  • adhesion
  • activation
  • aggregation
  • secretion
32
Q

adhesion

A
  • platelets stick to injured vessel wall via GP Ib-IX-V (1b-9-5) binding to vWF
33
Q

activation

A
  • resting platelets come into contact with agonists that bind receptors
  • signaling occurs
  • platelets change shape, secrete, and activate their GP IIb-IIIa integrins
34
Q

aggregation

A
  • platelets stick to each other via fibrinogen bridges binding to activated GP IIb-IIIa
35
Q

secretion

A
  • platelets release granular contents and potentiate clotting
36
