Which Formed Element of Blood is Involved in Clotting

Question

Which formed element of blood is involved in clotting?
A) granulocytes
B) red blood cells
C) agranulocytes
D) platelets

Accepted Answer

Platelets are small, colorless cell fragments in the blood that are involved in the clotting process. When there is tissue damage or injury, platelets rush to the site and stick together to form a plug, which stops the bleeding. This process is known as platelet aggregation and is essential for preventing excessive bleeding.
