- Contain dense granules (ADP, Ca2+) and α granules (vWF, fibrinogen, fibronectin)Alfa granules contain vwF, fibrinogen, fibronectin

- Approximately 1/3 of platelet pool is stored in the spleen

- Thrombocytopenia or ↓ platelet function results in petechiae.- vWF receptor: GpIb- Fibrinogen receptor: GpIIb/IIIa- Thrombopoietin stimulates megakaryocyte proliferation.
