Detailed explanation-1: -Platelets are the smallest component of your blood that control bleeding. Platelets cluster together to form a clot and prevent bleeding at the site of an injury. Questions 216.444.2538.
Detailed explanation-2: -Platelets immediately stick to the edges of the cut and release chemicals that attract more platelets. Eventually, a platelet plug is formed, and the outside bleeding stops.
Detailed explanation-3: -Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are blood cells. They form in your bone marrow, a sponge-like tissue in your bones.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hemostasis is your body’s normal reaction to an injury that causes bleeding. This reaction stops bleeding and allows your body to start repairs on the injury.
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. Having too many or too few platelets or having platelets that don’t work as they should can cause problems.
