Platelet
Platelet: Platelets are tiny colorless disk-shaped blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals to the platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage. They are responsible for forming a plug or clot to fix the damage.
