A sedimentary rock that is sometimes formed by deposits of shell fragments?
A sedimentary rock that is sometimes formed by deposits of shell fragments is LIMESTONE!!
Sedimentary rock formed from rock fragments is called?
clastic
What kind of rock is formed when rock fragments are cemented together?
A clastic sedimentary rock.
Are Sedimentary rocks formed from broken fragments called organic?
They would only be organic if the particles or fragments are from a once living organism - sea shells, coral, etc.
What type of rock is formed when small rock fragments are cemented together?
Clastic sedimentary rock.
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."
What is footlike cytoplasmic extensions?
Pseudopodia (as in, the cytoplasmic extensions of amoeba as they try to move?). I believe they are formed as a result of rapid actin polymerisation.
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.
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

What formed element is the first to play a role in sealing an injury to a blood vessel?
Platelets are the formed elements that have a role in blood clotting, and would seal an injury to a vessel walls. The platelets are cell fragments. Platelets are also known as thrombocytes.
When a finger is pricked the blood will stop flowing shortly because of the action of the formed elements called?
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are the formed element of the blood that assist in blood clotting. Platelets are cell fragments, unlike the other formed elements (white blood cells and red blood cells).
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.
A rock formed by deposits of shell fragments?
A rock formed from deposits of shell fragment is Limestone.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from?
Fragments of preexisting rocks.
Sedimentary rock formed from rock fragments is called?
clastic
