If you’re bleeding, what makes it stop?
A
red blood cells
B
white blood cells
C
nothing
D
platelets
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals to the platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug (clot) to fix the damage. The process of spreading across the surface of a damaged blood vessel to stop bleeding is called adhesion.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. Or it can be a side effect of taking certain medications.

Detailed explanation-3: -Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes you to have low platelet levels. latelets are cell fragments that are found in the blood and normally help the blood to clot. In people with ITP, the body produces antibodies that attack and destroy the platelets.

Detailed explanation-4: -Secondary thrombocytosis, also called reactive thrombocytosis, occurs when the platelets increase in response to a condition, infection, medications, or bleeding.3.
