Translations:Thrombozyten/2/en

Like erythrocytes, thrombocytes are not cells in the classical sense because they are not capable of division due to a lack of genetic information (DNA). Their task is thrombocyte adhesion (″Thrombozytenanhaftung″), thrombocyte aggregation (″Vereinigung″) for blocking injured blood vessels and the release of numerous coagulation-promoting substances such as coagulation factors and messengers.
