Definition of Platelets. Platelets are tiny cell fragments that are found within our blood. They originate in the bone marrow as pinched-off pieces of larger cells. Platelets are neither smooth nor round, but are shaped more like paper that has been ripped into tiny bits. They spend much of their time cruising through the bloodstream alongside their red and white blood cell counterparts.
