Answer:
Explanation:
Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals to the platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug (clot) to fix the damage

How do blood platelets useful to us?
- Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are blood cells that aid in the clotting of blood.
- Platelets rush to the site of injury when a blood vessel wall is injured and form a plug or clot to stop the bleeding.
- If your platelet count is low (a condition known as thrombocytopenia), you're more likely to have uncontrolled or prolonged bleeding.
- When the blood contains too many platelets (a condition known as thrombocytosis), inappropriate blood clot formation can occur, which can be dangerous and life-threatening.
