| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Leukocyte | white blood cell |
| Erythrocyte | red blood cell |
| Platelet | thrombocyte (clotting cell) |
| polymorphonuclear granulocytic leukocytes | eosinophil, neutrophil, basophil |
| mononuclear agranulocytic leukocytes | monocyte, lymphocyte |
| plasma | liquid part of the blood consisting of water ,dissolved proteins, sugar, wastes, salts, hormones, and other substances including plasma proteins (albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, prothrombin) |
| Blood types | A, B, AB, O (including Rh factor in each) |
| serum | liquid portion of blood left behind after clotting has occurred |
| albumin | protine in blood; maintains the proper amount of water in the blood |
| aplastic anemia | failure of blood cell production in the bone marrow |
| hemolytic anemia | reduction in rbc due to excessive destruction |
| pernicious anemia | lack of mature rbc caused by inability to absorm bitamin B12 into the body |
| sickle cell anemia | hereditary condition characterized by abnormal sickle shape of rbc and hemolysis |
| thalassemia | inherited defect in the ability to produce hemoglobin, usually seen in persons of Mediterranean background |
| hemochromatosis | excess iron deposits throughout the body |
| polycythemia vera | general increase in rbc (erythremia) |
| hemophilia | excessive bleeding caused by hereditary lack of blood clotting factors (factor VIII or IX) necessary for blood clotting |
| purpura | multiple pinpoint hemorrhages and accumulation of blood under the skin |
| leukemia | increase in cancerous wbc |
| acute mylogenous leukemia (AML) | immature granulocytes predominate |
| acute lympocytic leukemia (ALL) | immature lympocytes predominate (Most often in children and adolescents - sudden onset) |
| chronic myleogenous leukemia (CML) | both mature and immature granulocytes are present in large numbers. Slowly progressive illness. |
| Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) | abnormal numbers of relatively mature lymphocytes predominate. Most common form of leukemia usually occurs in the elderly and follows a slowly progressive course. Often does not require immediate treatment. |
| granulocytosis | abnormal increase in granulocytes in the blood (increase in neutrophils may be due to infection; increase in eosinophils may be due to allergic conditions; increase in basophils by be due to certian types of leukemia) |
| mononucleosis | infection disease marked by increased numbers of leukocytes and enlarged cervical lymph nodes (Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) |
| multiple myeloma | malignan neoplasm of bone marrow |
