Platelets help your blood to clot.
The blood is composed of 4 main things: white blood cells, red blood cells, blood platelets and the straw coloured fluid that they float in, called plasma.
The function of blood platelets is to form a clot (scab) over the area that was cut, so that the blood doesn't keep oozing out of the cut.
