contain granules
play a major role in a vascular clotting system


siatelet function
releasing chemicals important to the clotting process
Forming temporary patch in the walls or damaged blood vessels
reducing the size of a break in a vessel wall

siatelet production
takes place in the red bone marrow
normal red bone marrow has megakaryocytes which are enormous cells with largenuclei

megakarocytes
platelet formation is a negative feedbackloop

the process of homeostasis the stopping of bleeding halts theloss of blood through the walls or

me coagulation phase
conversion of soluble plasma protein to the insoluble rigidpolymer fibrin
endpoint starts 30s ormore after thevessel has beendamaged

Begins outside the blood stream inthe vessel wall
starts when damaged endothelial cells or peripheral tissue release factor in also called tissue factor
