These cells are called platelets. A normal count will assist in clotting cuts in the skin or tissue, a high count may cause blood clots elsewhere in the body and a low count can cause a cut to not clot, causing the victim to loose to much blood.
Red blood cells do not initiate clotting. Platelets initiate clotting.
Thrombocytosis means increase in clotting cells.
Blood cells
ATP allows our cells to maintain, repair and reproduce themselves.
Anthrax attacks the cells that create the connective tissue in our blood cells. This means that there is no clotting of the blood.

Thrombopenia Thrombo- clotting cells -penia = too few / not enough Hope that helps you ! - Nursing Student
Platelets (thrombocytes) are not complete cells. Rather, they are fragments of giant cells present only in bone marrow. when a blood vessel is damaged, platelets form a plug that seals the vessel, and injured tissues release molecules that help the clotting process.
