| - Platelets are cells in the blood plasma that help with the clotting of blood. While low numbers of platelets may cause clotting problems, excessive number of platelets can cause thrombosis.
- Platelets, or thrombocytes, were a type of blood cell mainly involved in hemostasis, the formation of blood clots. Genetically engineered Human Augments created on Earth in the 20th century had powerful platelets in their blood, allowing enhanced cell regeneration. When regular Humans or Tribbles were injected with augment platelets, fatal cellular injuries such as lethal radiation exposure could be healed. The platelets could even resuscitate a dead Tribble. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
- Platelets are tiny fragments of cells in the blood. These help blood to clot. They have no nucleus and are made in bone marrow.
