Answer:
The principal function of platelets is to prevent bleeding. Red blood cells are the most numerous blood cell, about 5,000,000 per microliter. Red blood cells make up about 40% of our total blood volume, a measure called the hematocrit.
Explanation:
Platelets have the following functions:
Secrete vasoconstrictors which constrict blood vessels, causing vascular spasms in broken blood vessels.
Form temporary platelet plugs to stop bleeding.
Secrete procoagulants (clotting factors) to promote blood clotting.
Dissolve blood clots when they are no longer needed.
