Question

What would happen if platelets are absent from the blood? (HOTS)


Open in App
Solution

  1. If platelets are absent from the blood, then the blood would not clot in case of an injury, as platelets are responsible for clotting of blood.
  2. This might result in hemorrhage leading to a continuous blood loss.
  3. This can even lead to the death of a person, due to excess blood loss.
