Platelets (Thrombocytes) & the Functions of Blood
Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are tiny cell fragments essential for blood clotting. When you get a cut or injury, platelets rush to the site, forming clots to stop bleeding and promote healing.
Key Functions of Blood:
✔️ Oxygen Transport – Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues.
✔️ Immune Defense – White blood cells fight infections.
✔️ Clotting & Healing – Platelets prevent excessive bleeding.
✔️ Nutrient & Waste Transport – Blood carries nutrients to organs and removes waste.
