Platelet plug formation is initiated when platelets come into contact with
1. undamaged endothelial cells.
2. fibrinogen in the connective tissue beneath damaged blood vessels.
3. collagen fibers in the connective tissue beneath damaged blood vessels.
4. antithrombin.
An intravascular clot and its fragments are respectively called as:
1. hematoma; thrombosis
2. thrombus; hematoma
3. thrombus; embolus
4. embolus; thrombus
The cytoplasmic granules released by thrombocytes during platelet plug formation, which attract more platelets to the plug are:
1. prostacyclin and NO
2. erythropoietin and bilirubin
3. heparin and plasmin
4. ADP and thromboxanes
