Initially, plate-lets are activated and adhere to the site of injury. The platelets then aggregate and form a platelet plug that reduces or tem-porarily stops the loss of blood. The activation of platelets also releases numerous proteins and small molecules that accelerate and increase platelet plugformation and begin the process of tissue repair (Majerus, 1987). Plasma proteins such as von Willebrand factor play an important rolein platelet adhesion by forming a bridge between the activated platelet and the subendothelium (Girma et al., 1987; Ruggeri & Zimmerman, 1987). This is accomplished by the binding of von Willebrand factor to specific receptors (glycoprotein Ib/glycoprotein IX) on the surface of the activated platelets as well as to the subendothelium (Lopez et al., 1988; Hickey et al., 1989). In a similar manner, fibrinogen forms a bridge between activated platelets by binding to the surface receptors (glycoprotein Ilb/llla) on adjacent activated platelets (Bennett et al., 1982;
