When a red blood cell matures it pushes out its nucleus and its internal structures, called spectrin go through a shape change.Shape is not cone or doughnut.The shape is entirely different.When nucleus is travelling out of the RBC along with other structures( spectrin etc. ) which are coming in the path of the nucleus,creates empty space ,which due to negative pressure gives a flat appearance.Thus we get a "C" shaped thickened area and a Tongue shaped flat area which is mobile."c" shaped thickened area covers the 2/3rd margin of RBC while the flat tongue shaped area covers the centre of RBC and 1/3rd margin of RBC.The flat central area is concavo-convex while the peripheral flat part is also concavo-convex but it is opposite to the central part thus giving an appearance of a sports Cap with a thick rounded margin.This Cap shaped RBC is flexible just like the Cap , thus giving different shapes apart from a simple sports Cap.These shapes can be verified through Scan electron microscopy as well as transmission electron microscopy

Where do platelets begin in the human body?
Actually within blood vessels. Though megakaryocytes, the mothers of platelets grow in the bone marrow, but they send pseudopodia into the adjoining blood vessels and release the platelets, which are actually fragments of the pseudopodia. So, in the blood vessels.

How does the human body close a cut?
our blood has substances called as blood platelets. When blood is exposed to air, the platelets solidify and thus the blood from a cut gets stopped. Having low platelet count in the blood can be fatal even if you have a small wound...
