\nThe major function of platelets (thrombocytes) in the human blood is to stop bleeding by initiating the process of blood clotting (hemostasis).
\n<\/section>\n
\nPlatelets aggregate at the site of injury and form a plug, and they release factors that promote the coagulation cascade, leading to the formation of a fibrin clot.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOxygen transport is primarily the function of red blood cells (erythrocytes) containing hemoglobin. Immunity is the function of white blood cells (leukocytes). Phagocytosis is a process carried out by certain white blood cells (like macrophages and neutrophils) to engulf and remove pathogens and debris.
