Platelets are blood cells that control clotting and healing. Learn about their function, normal range, causes of low or high platelets, and how to test them. Unchecked platelet activation and aggregation can culminate in the formation of unwanted clots and thrombosis within the vasculature. Understanding the intricate interplay of G-protein coupled receptors, calcium signaling, and cytoskeletal rearrangements is crucial. This knowledge will equip us to delve deeper into the mysteries of hemostasis and thrombosis, paving the way for future advancements in therapeutic interventions. The total platelet count usually varies between 150,000 to 450,000 per microliter of blood and a single drop of blood has lakhs of blood platelets. Blood is a body’s fluid connective tissue, which circulates throughout the body under high pressure and helps maintain hemostasis. A platelet count measures the average platelet level in a person’s blood. Platelets are crucial to wound healing and clotting, and abnormal levels can indicate various health conditions.
