Third corpuscle

third corpuscle --> platelet


Platelet _ granules contain lysosomal enzymes, dense granules contain aDP (a potent platelet aggregating factor) and serotonin (a vasoactive amine). They also release platelet-derived growth factor which presumably contributes to later repair processes by stimulating fibroblast proliferation.

Synonym: thrombocytes.
