Trivia[]

  • Since Platelets are produced from Megakaryocytes by fragmentation, Megakaryocyte could be seen as the mom of the Platelets.
  • As Megakaryocytes among the largest cells in the human body, this could explain why she is depicted as a heavyset woman.
  • In real life, Megakaryocytes do not leave the bone marrow, contrary to what happened in Episode 14 (Bump).
