Detailed explanation-1: -Their primary function is to prevent and stop bleeding. If a blood vessel is damaged, the body sends signals to platelets which cause them to travel to the injured area. Once the platelets arrive at the site, they clump together to form a clot that helps stop bleeding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hemostasis is a way of the body to stop injured blood vessels from bleeding. One of the most important parts of hemostasis is the clotting of the blood.
Detailed explanation-3: -Platelets, or thrombocytes, are small, colorless cell fragments in our blood that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding. Platelets are made in our bone marrow, the sponge-like tissue inside our bones. Bone marrow contains stem cells that develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
