1.promotes platelet aggregation
2.activates thromboxane synthesis
3.both

Answer:

Thromboxanes are responsible for the aggregation of platelets that form blood clots. Low-dose, long-term aspirin use irreversibly blocks the formation of thromboxane A2 in platelets, producing an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation.
