what is the use of platlets
Answers
Answer:
Platelets (thrombocytes) are colorless blood cells that help blood clot. Platelets stop bleeding by clumping and forming plugs in blood vessel injuries. Thrombocytopenia might occur as a result of a bone marrow disorder such as leukemia or an immune system problem.
Answer:
Platelets are small fragments of bone marrow cells and are therefore not really classified as cells themselves.
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
Digest and destroy bacteria
Secrete chemicals that attract neutrophils and monocytes to sites of inflammation
Secrete growth factors to maintain the linings of blood vessel.The first three functions listed above refer to important haemostatic mechanisms in which platelets play a role in during bleeding: vascular spasms, platelet plug formation and blood clotting (coagulation).
- 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.
