A
hemoglobin
B
bone marrow
C
leukocytes
D
erythrocytes
E
platelets (thrombocytes)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are tiny components of your blood that help with clotting. Platelets are your body’s natural bandage to stop bleeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -When there is an injury that causes bleeding, the nearby blood vessels constrict (narrow) to help prevent blood loss. Platelets arrive and plug the leak. The platelets also create a reaction with clotting factors that react to form a fibrin clot.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Are Platelets In Blood? 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.
