What else can I help you with?
What are cell fragments necessary in clotting?
Platelets are involved in blood clotting. They are also called thrombocytes and come from the bone marrow.
Responsible for clotting of blood?
Platelets, also known as thrombocytes or megakaryocyte fragments, are responsible for blood clotting.
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.
Where are thrombocytes formed?
Thrombocytes, also known as platelets, are primarily formed in the bone marrow. They are produced from large cells called megakaryocytes, which break apart into smaller platelet fragments that are released into the bloodstream to help with blood clotting.
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 organ or cell associated with blood clotting?
Platelets are cell fragments found in the blood that play a crucial role in blood clotting. They are activated when there is an injury to a blood vessel, and they help form a plug to stop bleeding.
What formed element can be described as cytoplasmic fragments?
Megakaryocytes form Thrombocytes ( platelets) which function in the formation of blood clotting
What is the proper name for platelets?
Platelets are also known as thrombocytes. They are small, colorless cell fragments in the blood that are essential for blood clotting and wound healing.
What do megakaryocytes do?
Megakaryocytes form Thrombocytes ( platelets) which function in the formation of blood clotting
Do thrombocytes carry oxygen?
No thrombocytes are platlets used for blood clotting.
What is the smallest form element in the blood and they play an important role in 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
In formation of blood cells the megakaryoblast ultimately develops into?
The megakaryoblast undergoes endomitoses (the nucleus becomes polyploid and the cell does not divide) and ultimately develops into megakaryocyte. The successive stages are Megakaryoblast -> Promegakaryocyte -> Megakaryocyte Megakaryocyte produces thrombocytes, that is fragments of megakraryocyte' cytoplasm.
