Meet the Platelets big Mother Cells!

These big cytoplasmic cells give birth to Platelets.
Platelets are born in our bone marrow,
and then they swim into our bloodstream.

When we get a cut or scrape or bruise or bleed,
hundreds of baby Platelets rush to our rescue
and do their famous clotting thing.

We need a lot of Platelets in our blood.
We always need to make Platelets!

First let's fill our blood with oxygen.

Say, "I MUST REBUILD!"

Feel the oxygen rebuild your Platelets !

We're a Platelets making machine!

Now say, "I FEEL STRONG!"

REGENERATE YOURSELF!
