Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showing an activated platelet (thrombocyte, yellow) adherent to a dental implant surface. The platelet is trapped in a mesh of fibrin strands (light green) during the hemostatic process of wound healing. The envelope of the platelet is disrupted , in order to release enzymes and growth factors needed for the following stages of wound healing. The platelet is trapped in a mesh of fibrin strands during the hemostatic process of wound healing. Activated platelets play a crucial role in the hemostatic process of wound healing. Fibrin is a protein formed from fibrinogen during the clotting of blood. Magnification: ×15000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide. | |
