Platelets are the smallest of the blood cells that aid in blood clotting by forming plugs in blood vessel holes.
A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Having more than 450,000 platelets is a condition called thrombocytosis, having less than 150,000 is known as thrombocytopenia.
