anemia	deficient number of red blood cells or deficient hemoglobin
antibody	substance produced by the body that destroys or inactivates a specific substance that has entered the body
antigen	substance that, when introduced into the body, causes formation of antibodies against it
aplastic anemia	blood disorder characterized by a low red blood cell count; caused by destruction of myeloid tissue in the bone marrow
basophil	white blood cell that stains readily with basic dyes
buffy coat	thin layer of white blood cells and platelets located between red blood cells and plasma in a centrifuged sample of blood
carbaminohemoglobin	the compound formed by the union of carbon dioxide with hemoglobin
embolism	obstruction of a blood vessel by forgein matter carried in the bloodstream
embolus	a blood clot or other substance that is moving in the blood and may block a blood vessel
eosinophil	white blood cell that is readily stained by eosin
erythroblastosis fetalis	a disease that may develop when an Rh-negative mother has anti-Rh antibodies and gives birth to an Rh-positive baby and the antibodies react with the Rh-negative cells of the body
erythrocyte	red blood cells
fibrin	insoluble protein in clotted blood
fibrogen	soluble blood protein that is converted to insoluble fibrin during clotting
hematocrit	volume percent of blood cells in whole blood

polycythemia	an excessive number of red blood cells
prothrombin	a protein present in normal blood that is required fo blood clotting
prothrombin activator	a protein formed by clotting factors from damaged tissue cells and platelets; it converts prothrombin into thrombin, a step essential to forming a blood clot
serum	blood plasma minus its clotting factors, still contains antibodies
sickle cell anemia	when only one defective gene is inherited and only a small amount of hemoglobun that is less soluble than usual is produced
thrombin	protein important in blood clotting
thrombocyte	plays a role in blood clotting; also called platelet
thrombosis	formation of a clot in a blood vessel
