PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Platelets (thrombocytes). These help in blood clotting.

Detailed explanation-2: -Platelets (a type of blood cell) and proteins in your plasma (the liquid part of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury.

Detailed explanation-3: -Platelets help prevent bleeding Their primary function is to prevent and stop bleeding. If a blood vessel is damaged, the body sends signals to platelets which cause them to travel to the injured area. Once the platelets arrive at the site, they clump together to form a clot that helps stop bleeding.

Detailed explanation-4: -The platelets are responsible for blood clotting.

Detailed explanation-5: -Platelets come from larger progenitor cells called megakaryocytes, and platelet production represents the final stage of megakaryocyte development (Fig. 1).
