It's not a blood cell. It is platelets. They clot due to blood loss from damaged blood vessels
circulatory system is; blood (plasma, platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells), veins and arteries..if i remember correctly :S
They are the platelets.It is important in blood clotting.
Blood cells, plasma, and platelets all carry blood, platelets help blood clot and move red & white blood cells around, Plasma is the liquid part of the blood that holds blood cells and gets moved around by platelets, and blood cells move around in your blood fighting infections & protecting your wounds by forming scabs.
Cell fragments in the blood are platelets and they are involved in blood clotting.
i am the clotting power
Platelets
Platelets contain many mitochondria to power their actions (mainly blood clotting) and granules that contain chemicals that the platelets use for their actions. They don't have much else.
they just constitute of nerves and tissues. by mahima
Only Red Blood Cells (RBCs) contain hemoglobin. The white cells do not and the platelets (fragments of cells) do not.
No, platelets do not have a nucleus. They're known as anucleur cells.
Blood plasma contains platelets, RBC and WBC cells in them. the answer to your question is yes. plasma is the component of blood obtained after removing all the blood corpuscles like RBC,WBC and platelets so it doesnt contain platelets but there are substances called platelet rich plasma where the plasma is enriched with platelets for specific purposes
Platelet StructurePlatelets are actually not true cells but merely circulating fragments of cells. But even though platelets are merely cell fragments, they contain many structures that are critical to stop bleeding. They contain proteins on their surface that allow them to stick to breaks in the blood vessel wall and also to stick to each other. They contain granules that can secrete other proteins required for creating a firm plug to seal blood vessel breaks. Also platelets contain proteins similar to muscle proteins that allow them to change shape when they become sticky.
platelets.
Blood platelets help blood clot.
