Platelets come from megakariocytes and are produced in bone marrow and lung. Their development is stimulated by thrombopoeitin produced in liver and kidney. They are 2-3 um across. Platelet function follows the pattern: Adhesion -> Activation -> Aggregation. Platelet aggregation forms a platelet plug (primary hemostasis), which is stabilized by coagulation factors culminating in a fibrin mesh/net which stabilizes the platelet plug.
