Which of the following is used for blood clotting?
A
Red Blood Cells
B
Phagocytes
C
Leukocytes
D
Platelets
E
Plasma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Platelets (thrombocytes). These help in blood clotting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins on the exterior of your platelet walls are sticky to help it adhere to your blood vessels. When actively clotting, platelets extend filaments that resemble legs on a spider. These legs make contact with the broken blood vessel and other clotting factors to seal the damage and stop the bleeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Platelets (a type of blood cell) and proteins in your plasma (the liquid part of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury.

Detailed explanation-4: -Platelets (thrombocytes) are colorless blood cells that help blood clot. Platelets stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries. Thrombocytopenia might occur as a result of a bone marrow disorder such as leukemia or an immune system problem.

Detailed explanation-5: -Platelets are the components of blood which help in clotting.
