Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During platelet adhesion, von Willebrand factor (VWF) acts as a bridge between the exposed collagen in the damaged blood vessel and the platelet's surface receptor glycoprotein Ib/IX/V, leading to platelet activation and the formation of the platelet plug. Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is involved in platelet aggregation, while serotonin, transferrin, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) are not directly involved in platelet adhesion.
