Summary Introduction
To determine:
The process which is affected by the decrease in the number of the megakaryocytes in the blood.
Introduction:
The decrease in the number of megakaryocytes in the blood leads to the inhibition in the repair of tissues and blood vessels during injury. The clotting of the blood is affected at the site leading to inflammation and damage of the walls of the blood vessels and tissues due to injury.
