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."
Which formed element is a leukocyte?
Leukocytes is another name for white blood cell. These formed elements fight infections and other "foreign" invaders. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
Does lymph system make thrombocytes?
no
What are cell fragments necessary in clotting?
Platelets are involved in blood clotting. They are also called thrombocytes and come from the bone marrow.
G-CSF is helpful in?
Stimulating formation of thrombocytes
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.

Is globulin a formed element in the blood?
Fibrinogen is not a formed element of blood. It's a chemical component in the plasma. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
What is the medical abbreviation hematocrit mean?
Hematocrit is not an abbreviation. It is the ratio of plasma and the formed elements leukocytes, thrombocytes and erythrocytes.
What are the fragments to form thrombocytes?
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.
Do thrombocytes carry oxygen?
No thrombocytes are platlets used for blood clotting.
Which of the formed elements in the blood are not white blood cells?
Thrombocytes, or platelets, are the formed elements of the blood that aren't and never were true cells. They are cell fragments. The erythrocytes (red blood cells) are originally cells with a typical nucleus, but they lose the nucleus in the process of development.
Does the heart generate the formed elements of the blood?
The heart does not make the formed elements of the blood. The formed elements are made in the bone marrow. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
What is the smallest formed elements in the blood and they play important role in the 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
Is blood composed of formed elements in a fluid matrix?
Yes, blood is a connective tissue made up of formed elements and plasma. The formed elements are the red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
Do the formed elements of blood include defense proteins?
Formed elements of blood do not include the defense proteins known as antigens. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
All are a part of the immune system except tonsils thrombocytes lymphocytes phagocytes or the heart?
thrombocytes
