Platelets are tiny cell fragments that are found within our blood. They originate in the bone marrow as pinched-off pieces of larger cells. Platelets are neither smooth nor round, but are shaped more like paper that has been ripped into tiny bits. They spend much of their time
cruising through the bloodstream alongside their red and white blood cell counterparts.
The primary responsibility of the platelets is to stop the bleeding when there is an injury to the body. A barrier called a blood clot must be formed to seal the wound. Just like a leaking pipe must be plugged, a damaged blood vessel must be blocked so that there is not excessive blood loss.
