Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT with respect to thrombocytes ?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Thrombocytes, commonly known as platelets, are cell fragments produced from megakaryocytes (special cells in the bone marrow).
They are non-nucleated structures, not nucleated biconcave cells. (Mature mammalian red blood cells are enucleated and biconcave, while white blood cells are nucleated).
Therefore, the statement that thrombocytes are nucleated, biconcave cells is fundamentally incorrect.
Answer: These are very small, nucleated, biconcave cells.
