Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Platelets are non-nucleated cell elements that, clearly, result from fractionation of bone marrow megakaryocytes (MKs).
