Platelets (also called 'thrombocytes') flow in the blood with white & red blood cells. They are what gather together at a damaged site and connect or 'adhere' to one-another, forming a protective barrier. Once formed, other clotting factors floating in the blood literally get 'turned-on' when passing the site and are drawn into the formation. Fibrin, a fiborous tissue part, is the final stage of the clot. A fibrin clot is created when fiborous tissue connects to several of the clotting factors and forms a protective 'web' over the area. Ideally, this formation stays in place until the area is healed, at which time the clot disolves into tiny fragments and washes away in the blood.
Cell fragments that help the blood to clot are called platelets. Blood clotting is very important in the event of an accident.
Platelets are fragments of cells that participate in clot formation.

platelets is cell fragments! the function is to release proteins to help blood to clot! :)
Cell fragments in the blood are platelets and they are involved in blood clotting.
Platelets (not cell fragments though)
They can clot blood easily because they are broken fragments of red blood cells. They also help the blood to clot with nutrients such as: calcium, Vitamin K and Fibrinogen. Hope it helps!
if you are asking what blood cells help blood clot up to keep your cut from bleeding out, they're platelets. :)
platelets
No, platelets are not actual cells. They are cell fragments that are formed in the bone marrow and help with blood clotting. The smallest cells in the blood are red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes.
Red blood cells RBC) carry oxygen.White Blood Cells (WBC) fight diseases and invaders.Platelets (blood cell fragments) help in clotting.
Fibrin
Help the blood clot.
Platelet cells are the component within blood cells that help control bleeding by helping blood to clot.
