Here is no such cell as a throbocyte. A thrombosis is a blood clot made of platlets that have clumped together

Thrombocytes, also known as platelets, are formed from the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. Megakaryocytes undergo a process called cytoplasmic fragmentation, where they produce small, disc-shaped cell fragments that are released into the bloodstream as thrombocytes.

What are cell fragments necessary in clotting?
Platelets are involved in blood clotting. They are also called thrombocytes and come from the bone marrow.
What formed element can be described as cytoplasmic fragments?
Megakaryocytes form Thrombocytes ( platelets) which function in the formation of blood clotting
What is the smallest formed element in the blood?
Thrombocytes are the smallest formed elements in the blood. In my Medical Terminology book, it says "The smallet formed elements found in blood are platelets. Although they are sometimes called thrombocytes, they are not true cells, as the term erroneously suggests, but merely fragments of cells."
Responsible for clotting of blood?
Platelets, also known as thrombocytes or megakaryocyte fragments, are responsible for blood clotting.
What do the formed elements of the blood include and which are cell fragments?
The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Thrombocytes are the formed element that is actually a cell fragment. Platelets are important in blood clotting.
What is the smallest blood cells found in a human body?
Platelets, although technically speaking platelets (also known as thrombocytes) are not cells, but cell fragments produced by megakaryocytes. In terms of actual cells, it would be erythrocytes, or red blood cells.
What do megakaryocytes do?
Megakaryocytes form Thrombocytes ( platelets) which function in the formation of blood clotting
What is the smallest form element in the blood and they play an important role in blood clotting?
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are the smallest formed element in the blood. Made of cell fragments, platelets are part of the blood clotting process. Non-formed clotting factors also are critical to blood clotting.thrombocytes
Do thrombocytes carry oxygen?
No thrombocytes are platlets used for blood clotting.
Cell fragments that help blood to clot?
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.

All are a part of the immune system except tonsils thrombocytes lymphocytes phagocytes or the heart?
