Question

What will happen if platelets were absent in the blood?

Answer 1

If platelets are absent:

1. Blood platelets play a vital role in clotting the blood.
2. To prevent major blood loss at the time of injury, it is very important to form a clot.
3. Platelets are the agents which help in the formation of blood clots with many other vitamins and minerals present in the body.
4. The deficiency of platelets may lead to hemorrhage if there is continuous blood loss in the body.
