Platelet
Description
Platelets or Thrombocytes (PLT) are cell fragments derived from megakaryocytes with hemostatic function in the blood stream. PLT are anucleated but contain functioning mitochondria that play a critical role in PLT activation.
Abbreviation: PLT

Cell Size
In the quiescent state, PLT have a discoid shape, measuring 2.0 to 5.0 um in diameter, 0.5 um in thickness and having a cell volume of 6 to 10 femtoliters. [1]
