Thrombocytes and platelets, beyond their primary function in hemostasis, seem to play an active role in inflammation. As regards their phagocytic ability, the results to date are confusing, incomplete, and somewhat contradictory. Whereas the interaction of avian thrombocytes or mammalian platelets w

Platelets are found in the blood of all mammals and serve the same basic hemostatic functions in all. Species differences in the morphology and activities of platelets in human and domesticated animals have been observed, but there is little published information regarding the blood pictures of wild
Platelet aggregation may be an important factor in the feasibility of transcatheter laser angioplasty. The in vitro effects of increasing doses of CO, laser irradiation on platelet number, function, and surface ultrastructure were examined. Results indicated a progressive doseresponse reduction of b
