Platelets are pieces of a larger cell called a megakaryocyte. They are not individual cells.
Blood cells are called erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets). Nerve cells are called neurons.
Inspite of other cells platelets do;nt contains mitocondria.
The cells in the bloodstream include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
The network fibers that trap platelets and other blood cells are called fibrinogen fibers, which are created during the blood clotting process. These fibers help form a meshwork that captures and holds blood cells in place to stop bleeding.
Thrombocytes are platelets, derived from fragmentation of megakaryocytes. They are not white blood cells.
Platelets are fragments of bizarre multinucleate cells called megakaryocytes
The large cells that produce platelets are called megakaryocytes.

Platelets are produced in the bone marrow by large cells called megakaryocytes.
The formation of platelets and red and white blood cells within the red bone marrow is known as erythroleukocytosis.
Platelets are formed from large cells called megakaryocytes. Megakaryocytes undergo a process called cytoplasmic fragmentation to produce platelets, which are involved in blood clotting.
They really are not cells by definition but they are fragments called platelets of rather large cells called megakaryocytes.
No they are not true cellsThey are pieces of cells. They do not have a nucleus, etc. Platelets create scabs when you get a cut so that your blood doesn't keep pouring out.
Those are called, "Platelets".
