Particle in blood (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

platelet

(Other definitions for platelet that I've seen before include "Particle of protoplasm, essential for blood clotting - tell a pet (anag)" , "Item in blood involved in clotting" , "Disc found in blood" , "Cell fragment in the blood, important for clotting" , "Disc-shaped blood cell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
