Platelet development from the hematopoietic stem cell to fully mature platelets
Rationale: Hematopoiesis refers to blood cell development. Thrombopoiesis is not an extrinsic factor that initiates blood clotting; it does refer to platelet development as only one component of blood cell development. The process that mitigates blood loss due to injury to any blood vessel is called hemostasis.
