Platelets (thrombocytes) are not cells, they are just pieces of the megakaryocytes (their mighty parents).
Platelets are called thrombocytes because they will help form a clot (thrombus)...At least they form a temporary platelet plug to stop bleeding in small vessels (primary hemostasis).
The normal platelet count is 150,000 to 400,000/ microliter.
Hemostasis is defined as "cessation of blood bleeding”
There are 2 types of hemostasis:
1. Primary hemostasis: formation of weak, temporary platelet plug (by platelets)
2. Secondary hemostasis: formation of stronger fibrin meshwork (by coagulation factors).
