Megakaryoblast and promegakaryocyte
Megakaryocyte is mistaken for?
Reed-sternberg cell
T or F:
Megakaryocyte can produce platelets because it has 2-3 nuclei
False; metamegakaryocyte kaya mag produce
Difference of granules in megakaryocyte and metamegakaryocyte
Megakaryocyte granules are reddish blue and has equal distribution
Metamegakaryocyte granules are scattered, aggregated, and clumped

T or F:
Platelets are anucleated cell without golgi bodies, RER, and mitochondria
False; meron mitochondria
Amorphous coat that surrounds the platelet
Glycocalyx
