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.
