Detailed explanation-2: -Platelets are membrane-bound cell fragments derived from megakaryocytes, which are produced during thrombopoiesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Platelets are formed when cytoplasmic fragments of megakaryocytes, which are very large cells in the bone marrow, pinch off into the circulation as they age.

Detailed explanation-4: -Platelets are produced from very large bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes. As megakaryocytes develop into giant cells, they undergo a process of fragmentation that results in the release of over 1, 000 platelets per megakaryocyte.

Detailed explanation-5: -Platelets are pieces of very large cells in the bone marrow called megakaryocytes. They help form blood clots to slow or stop bleeding and to help wounds heal.
