Clotting helps stop any bleeding that may occur if a blood vessel is damaged. Platelets also are called thrombocytes (THROM-bo-sites) because a blood clot also is called a thrombus. A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.hrombocythemia (THROM-bo-si-THE-me-ah) and thrombocytosis (THROM-bo-si-TO-sis) are conditions in which your blood has a higher than normal number of platelets (PLATE-lets). Platelets are blood cell fragments. They're made in your bone marrow along with other kinds of blood cells.
Caffeine was isolated from the coffee samples and measured by gas chromatography. Every serving but one -- instant decaffeinated Folgers Coffee Crystals -- contained caffeine, ranging from 8.6 milligrams to 13.9 milligrams. In comparison, an 8-ounce cup of drip-brewed coffee typically contains 85 milligrams of caffeine.
The amount of caffeine in instant hot chocolate is significantly less than most other beverages, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. A cup of tea may contain 40 to 120 mg of caffeine. A cup of generic instant coffee may contain 27 to 173 mg of caffeine, while a cup of generic brewed coffee may contain 102 to 200 mg of caffeine. Even decaffeinated coffee contains 3 to 12 mg of caffeine. Some sodas, such as 7-Up and Mug Root Beer, contain no caffeine.
