==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Platelet]]s are a part of the [[blood]] that helps it clot when there is an open wound.

===About Platelets===
: [[Platelet]]s are pieces of dead [[Red Blood Cell|red blood cells]].
: When [[blood]] escapes a [[Blood Vessel|blood vessel]] the [[platelet]]s bind together to form a [[Blood Clot|blood clot]]. However, sometimes a [[Blood Clot|blood clot]] can form inside a [[Blood Vessel|blood vessel]] and block a [[Blood Vessel|blood vessel]].
