There are two types of thrombocytes....1.Platelets that is formed y fragmentation of megakaryocytes and 2.Spindle cells that are small oval structures witha central nuclei and appear related to white blood cells. They both help with the process of blood clotting.

What human cells have no chromosomes?
Some cells like erythrocytes (red blood cells) and thrombocytes (platelets) don't have DNA because they are made from precurors. Erythrocytes are made a process called erythropoiesis and thrombocytes are made by megakaryocytes.
