FTP, name these small cell fragments that are key to blood clotting.
Bernard-Souiller syndrome occurs when these cells are deficient in Glycoprotein IX and another common disorder involving them occurs when their alpha granules are deficient in important proteins. They can also be activated by von Willebrand factor. They are created when a ligand binds to the C-Mpl receptor of a megakaryocyte, causing it to fragment into several of these bodies. They bind to each other via integrins, and also act in conjunction with fibrin in their most important function. FTP, name these small cell fragments that are key to blood clotting.
