Detailed explanation-1: -Platelets are membrane-bound cell fragments derived from megakaryocytes, which are produced during thrombopoiesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thrombocytes, or platelets, are not complete cells, but are small fragments of very large cells called megakaryocytes. Megakaryocytes develop from hemocytoblasts in the red bone marrow. Thrombocytes become sticky and clump together to form platelet plugs that close breaks and tears in blood vessels.
