Why are platelets described as cytoplasmic fragments of cells?
Platelets are described as cytoplasmic fragments because they are derived from the fragmentation of larger precursor cells called megakaryocytes in the bone marrow. These megakaryocytes extend long projections into the bloodstream, which then break off to form platelets. As a result, platelets lack a nucleus and are essentially small pieces of cytoplasm that play a crucial role in blood clotting and wound healing. Their structure allows for quick mobilization and function in the vascular system.
What is the pupose of the skeletal system?
structure, support, protection, and inside the bone marrow is responsible for creating red and white blood cells as well as platelets

What is the count of platelets in hemophilia patient?
because there is only the defects in function of platelets in hemophilia and not reduction in number of platelets!
What special protein does platelets use to help stop bleeding?
Platelets use a special protein called fibrinogen to help stop bleeding. When a blood vessel is injured, platelets adhere to the site and release enzymes that convert fibrinogen into fibrin, forming a mesh-like structure that stabilizes the platelet plug. This fibrin mesh helps to seal the wound and prevent further blood loss.
What blood components is most abundant in humans?
