Detailed explanation-1: -Platelets are irregularly shaped fragments of cells that circulate in the blood until they are either activated to form a blood clot or are removed by the spleen. Thrombocytopenia is a condition of low levels of platelets and carries an increased risk of bleeding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Platelets are tiny, irregularly shaped blood cell pieces (called fragments) that play an important role in the making of blood clots. When an injury occurs and a blood clot is needed, the platelets become sticky and help plug the site of the injury.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
