    Glossary Platelets

    small blood cell fragments crucial for clotting and wound healing

    Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are small, disc-shaped cell fragments in the blood that are crucial for clotting. When a blood vessel is injured, platelets gather at the site and form a plug to help stop bleeding, releasing chemicals that further the clotting process.
