Platelets have no nucleus: they are fragments of cytoplasm which are derived from the megakaryocytes of the bone marrow, and then enter the circulation. These unactivated platelets are biconvex discoid structures shaped like a lens, 2–3 µm in greatest diameter. Platelets are found only in mammals, an adaptation that may have evolved to offset the risk of death from hemorrhage at childbirth – a risk unique to mammals. see [[platelet count]]. see [[thrombocytopenia]]. ===== Mean platelet volume ===== [[Mean platelet volume]] ===== Function ===== see [[Platelet Function]]. platelet.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:59by 127.0.0.1
