Inherited morphological deformities of this type of cell include von Willebrand's disease and Glanzmann's disease. A deficiency of glycoprotein Ib (one b) on its cellular membrane leads to Bernard-Soulier syndrome, and aspirin tends to impair this cell's ability to produce prostaglandins. In addition to storing and transporting seratonin, epinephrine and histamine, this cell provides a surface for fibrin strands to adhere to, thereby facilitating hemostasis. Also known as a thrombocyte, for ten points, this blood cell is crucial to coagulation.
