What is the primary function of platelets in the blood?
To regulate body temperature
To initiate clot formation and help stop bleeding
To transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues
To defend the body against infections
Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, play a crucial role in hemostasis, the process that prevents and stops bleeding. They achieve this by aggregating to form clots and releasing chemicals that aid in blood coagulation. Even though other answers mention the general role of blood elements like transporting oxygen or fighting infections, these are functions of red blood cells and white blood cells, respectively.
