The primary function of platelets is their role in hemostasis. Briefly, under normal physiological conditions, platelets will adhere to and begin to spread over the surface of subendothelial cells exposed by damage to the vascular endothelium.(1) Adhesion is dependent on the platelet membrane glycoprotein lb complex. The von Willebrand factor (vWF) is required for both adhesion and spreading.
