What chemical is released by platelets that cause vessels to construct?
Platelets release a chemical called serotonin, which plays a key role in vasoconstriction. When platelets aggregate at the site of a blood vessel injury, serotonin acts to narrow the blood vessels, reducing blood flow and helping to minimize blood loss. Additionally, thromboxane A2, another substance released by activated platelets, also contributes to vasoconstriction and promotes further platelet aggregation.
Megakaryocytes pinch off anucleate fragments called?
platelets.
Where are the platlets produced?
Platelets are produced in the bone marrow, which is the spongy tissue found inside bones. They originate from large cells called megakaryocytes, which fragment into smaller pieces to form platelets. Once released into the bloodstream, platelets play a crucial role in blood clotting and wound healing.
