Platelets isn't it capillaries?
No, platelets are not actual cells. They are cell fragments that are formed in the bone marrow and help with blood clotting. The smallest cells in the blood are red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes.
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."
Platelets are not cells.They are cell fragments.They do not have Mitochondria.

While axons of the neuron are often mere micrometres thick, they can be up to a meter long (and longer in adults). This makes the neuron the longest cell in the body.

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

The smallest blood protiens are platelets. Platelets are responsible for the prevention of bleeding and make up only a tiny fraction of the three blood components.
