What is the Significance of Platelets in Histological Studies?
Platelets are vital for blood clotting. In histological examinations, their count and morphology can help diagnose bleeding disorders. Conditions such as thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) can lead to excessive bleeding, while thrombocythemia (high platelet count) can increase the risk of clot formation. Histological studies of bone marrow can reveal abnormalities in platelet production.
