Abstract
In this article we propose to outline our present understanding of the intracellular pathways regulating aggregation and secretion in human platelets, and the various ways in which secretion and aggregation may be independent or interdependent under different experimental conditions. We shall also consider briefly shape-change and its relation to aggregation and secretion.
