<p>Thrombocytes are small anuclear fragments of [[Thrombopoiesis#Megakaryocyte|megakaryocytes]]. They are membrane bound portions of the [[Thrombopoiesis#Megakaryocyte|megakaryocyte]] cytoplasm and have a finely granular cytoplasm that stains pink. They are much smaller than other blood cells at 2-3µm and have a lifespan of around 10 days in circulation.</p>

<p>[[Thrombopoiesis#Megakaryocyte|Megakaryocytes]] develop from [[Overview of Haematopoiesis - WikiBlood#Colony Forming Units |CFU-GEMM]] and from these thrombocytes are formed. This process is called [[Thrombopoiesis|thrombopoiesis]] and more detail can be found [[Thrombopoiesis|here]].</p>
