Answer» Correct choice is (b) 8 – 12 days Easy explanation: Platelets are formed from the megakaryocyes. Thus, essentially, they are broken parts of a cell and thus must be removed eventually to avoid any problems to the body. Thus, within 8 – 12 days, the liver removes them from blood circulation. |
