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.
