Platelet
is always a great word to know.
So is circulation. Does it mean:
| continuous movement of blood through the heart and blood vessels |
| nucleate cells that aid coagulation in the blood of those vertebrates that lack blood platelets |

platelet  (plāt'lĭt) Pronunciation Key
Any of the numerous small, round cell fragments found in the blood of mammals that function in the clotting of blood. Platelets contain no nuclei and are formed in the bone marrow from precursor cells called megakaryocytes. Platelets contribute to the coagulation process by adhering to damaged blood vessels, fibrinogen, and other platelets. An inadequate number of platelets leads to uncontrolled bleeding. |
