In an overview of tissue structures, which cell fragments circulating in blood are primarily involved in clotting?
A
Platelets (thrombocytes)
B
Erythrocytes (red blood cells)
C
Neutrophils
D
Fibroblasts
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question is asking about cell fragments in the blood involved in clotting, not whole cells.
Recall that platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are small cell fragments derived from megakaryocytes and play a key role in blood clotting.
Recognize that erythrocytes (red blood cells) primarily transport oxygen and do not participate in clotting.
Know that neutrophils are a type of white blood cell involved in immune defense, not clotting.
Identify that fibroblasts are cells found in connective tissue responsible for producing extracellular matrix, not circulating in blood or involved in clotting.
