PATHOLOGY

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: -The main job of platelets, or thrombocytes, is blood clotting. Platelets are much smaller in size than the other blood cells. They group together to form clumps, or a plug, in the hole of a vessel to stop bleeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Platelets help blood to clot Platelets are irregularly shaped fragments of cells that circulate in the blood until they are either activated to form a blood clot or are removed by the spleen. Thrombocytopenia is a condition of low levels of platelets and carries an increased risk of bleeding.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
