Research on the process of blood coagulation: the role of platelets

One of the reasons why the phenomenon of blood coagulation remained obscure for a long time and still preserves some unknowns, is the fact that not enough account has been taken of the fact that it is not a single and simple process, but that it involves a series of successive phases of a completely...

Description
Summary:One of the reasons why the phenomenon of blood coagulation remained obscure for a long time and still preserves some unknowns, is the fact that not enough account has been taken of the fact that it is not a single and simple process, but that it involves a series of successive phases of a completely different nature, through whose course the blood comes to fulfill this special defensive function. One of the least known of these is that which initiates the characteristic transformation of the blood that will result in the change of its 'physical' state. The fact that this functional moment is perhaps the most rapid and is probably related to the function of platelets or hematoblasts, elements whose genesis and activity are little known, has made it difficult to determine its exact development.
