Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Platelets play a crucial role in blood clotting (coagulation) after an injury. They release chemicals that trigger a series of reactions, ultimately leading to the formation of a blood clot that seals the wound and prevents further blood loss. Leukocytes, monocytes, and erythrocytes do not play a direct role in coagulation.
