[The comparative characteristic of endothelial vasoregulation properties in patients with von Willebrand's disease
The analysis and comparative characteristic of endothelial vasoregulation properties and elastic properties of a vascular wall in patients with von Willebrand's disease and platelet dysfunction is conducted in paper. Presence of vasomotion disorders is shown at von Willebrand's disease, whereas at platelet dysfunction the endothelial-dependent pathology of vasoregulation is not detected.

Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
Structure and Function of Platelets
Platelets are continually replenished, circulating in the bloodstream for 9-12 days before being removed by phagocytes, primarily in the spleen. A microliter of circulating blood contains between 150,000 and 450,000 platelets, with...
