Abstract

Blood platelets are small, anucleate cells which circulate freely in the cardiovascular system. One of their major physiological functions is concerned with haemostasis - the cessation of bleeding. However, platelets are also involved in the pathological counterpart of haemostasis - thrombosis. Platelets are derived from megakaryocytes which are large nucleated cells located in the bone marrow.
