Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Platelet agonists include thromboxane A2 (TXA2), ADP, and thrombin. Each of them binds to its transmembrane receptor, and platelet activation is the result.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The dense tubular system is a condensed remnant of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It sequesters Ca++ and bears a series of enzymes that support platelet activation. It is the control center for platelet activation.
