Platelets are formed from large cells called megakaryocytes. Megakaryocytes undergo a process called cytoplasmic fragmentation to produce platelets, which are involved in blood clotting.

Platelets are fragments of bizarre multinucleate cells called megakaryocytes
Thrombyopoietin stimulates formation and maturation of megakaryocytes and thereby boosts PTL levels.
Formed Elements
Platelets are produced in the bone marrow by large cells called megakaryocytes.
Thrombocytes are platelets, derived from fragmentation of megakaryocytes. They are not white blood cells.
The large cells that produce platelets are called megakaryocytes.
