What would happen if platelets were absent in the blood ?

The blood has platelet cells which circulate

around the body and help to clot the blood at

the time of injury. In the absence of platelets,

the process of clotting will be affected. Platelets

play the important role of coagulation of blood.

No blood coagulation would take place in the

absence of platelets. This would be a dangerous

situation in case of an injury, at it would result in

excessive blood loss and can even prove lethal

for the person.
