Platelets are the smallest blood particles. They are discoid-shaped (resembling to a disc, a target) and without a nucleus. They are formed in the bone marrow and survive for 8-14 days. In the body, they affect the proper function of endothelial cells, participate in primary haemostasis (formation of haemostatic plug), activate plasma factors, and exhibit phagocytic activity (engulfing foreign particles).
