Answer:
Our blood has two main parts – blood cells and plasma. The plasma is the liquid part of the blood. It is mainly water. It contains proteins, fats, salt, and other substances. Some of the proteins are important in blood clotting.
The blood cells are red cells, white cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of the body. White blood cells help fight infection. Platelets are tiny cells that have a big job in stopping bleeding. Proteins in the blood called clotting factors work to form a clot. In order to understand bleeding disorders, you have to know how the proteins and the platelets in the blood work together.
Our bodies make platelets inside the marrow of our bones. Platelets are disc shaped cells that are so small they can only be seen with a microscope. They are less than half the size of a red blood cell. One drop of blood contains tens of thousands of platelets. About 70% of your body’s platelets float around in your bloodstream. The other 30% are stored in an organ behind the stomach called the spleen. Each platelet travels in the bloodstream for seven to ten days. Then, if it has not been used to make a blood clot, cells in the spleen and liver destroy it. Every day 200 billion new platelets enter the bloodstream to take the place of those that are used or destroyed.
