Blood Plate

Blood platelets are one of the types of blood cells that participate in the process of hemostasis, that is, stopping bleeding and blood clotting after injury or damage to blood vessels. These cells are also known as platelets, and their function is mainly to protect tissue from bleeding and also to prevent infection from spreading beyond the wound.

Blood platelets are produced in the bone marrow and are round or oval in shape. They measure 2 to 4 microns in diameter and contain about a million small red vesicles called granules. These granules contain small amounts of calcium and phosphate, which gives platelets their rigidity and ability to stick together to form dense clots and seal cuts and wounds on the surface of the body.

When blood vessels are damaged, especially the fragile and thin walls of veins and arteries, platelets can become deformed and stick to the site of the cut or wound, then they begin to stick together, forming larger balls. Thanks to them, the blood stops at the site of the cut and coagulates, preventing life-threatening bleeding. This process can also stimulate fibrin, the formation of strands of protein that provide a framework for the clot to maintain the integrity of the blood vessel at the site of injury.

Since the advent of blood flow in humans, blood platelets began to play an important role in life and health. They help protect the body from blood loss, prevent anemia and maintain the health of the cardiovascular system and other organs. When a person's platelet count decreases, it can weaken the immune system, cause anemia, or increase the likelihood of injury. This condition is called thrombocytopenia and can be caused by various factors such as autoimmune diseases, tumors, bleeding, certain medications, etc.

To maintain normal platelet function, it is important to maintain healthy platelet levels in the blood. If the number of blood platelets decreases, this means that there are risks of infections, a weakened immune system and microtraumas, which reduce their level even further. One of the main reasons for low thrombotic concentrations
