Hemalymphatic System- The breakdown
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Hemat-o-logy | the study of blood |
| Morph-o-logy | the study of form |
| erythr-(o)-cyte | a red cell; red blood cell |
| Reticul-o-cyte | a "net" cell; a young red blood cell containing remnant ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum |
| Poly-chrom-asia | a condition of many colors; erythrocytes with varied staining qualities |
| anis-o-cyt-o-sis | a condition of unequal cells; size variations of red blood cells |
| an-em-ia | a condition without blood; a deficiency of erythrocytes and/or hemoglobin |
| pan-cyt-o-penia | a deficiency of all cells; a deficiency of all blood cells |
| leuk-o-cyte | a white cell; white blood cells |
| leuk-o-penia | a deficiency of white; a deficiency of white blood cells |
| leuk-o-cyt-o-sis | a condition of white cells; increased numbers of white blood cells |
| Bas-o-phil-ic | pertaining to blue affinity; things that stain readily with basic or blue dyes |
| neutr-o-penia | a deficiency of neutrophils; decreased numbers of neutrophilic leukocytes in the blood. |
| eosin-o-phil-ia | a condition of red affinity; increased numbers of eosinophilic leukocytes in the blood |
| lymph-o-cyt-o-sis | a condition of lymph cells; increased numbers of lymphocytic leukocytes in the blood |
| mono-cyt-o-sis | a condition of one cell; increased numbers of monocytic leukocytes in the blood. |
| poly-morph-o-nucle-ar | a multishaped nucleus |
| thromb-o-cyte | a clot cell; blood platelets |
| hem-o-stasis | the process of blood stoppage; the process of clotting |
| thromb-us | a clot |
| phag-o-cyte | an eating cell; leukocytes that ingest foreign organisms and particles |
| macr-o-phage | a large eater; phagocytic leukocytes found wandering outside the bloodstream; in the tissues of the body |
| anti-coagul-ant | one that is against clotting; any chemical agent that prevents clotting of blood |
| mega-kary-o-cyte | a large nucleated cell; a cell found in the bone marrow that contains a very large nucleus and from which platelets are formed |
| lymph-aden-o-pathy | disease of the lymph glands; often refers to enlarged lymph nodes |
| splen-ic | pertaining to the spleen |
| lymph-ang-itis | inflammation of lymph vessels |
| lymph-o-cyte | a lymph cell |
| spen-o-mega-ly | a condition of splenic enlargement |
| inter-stili-al | pertaining to between tissues |
| macr-o-phage | a large eater; large phagocytic cells |
| phag-o-cyt-o-sis | the process of cellular eating |
| path-o-gen-ic | pertaining to disease production |
| tonsill-ectomy | cutting out the tonsils; interpreted as surgical removal of the tonsils |
| lymph-oid | resembling lymph |
| tonsill-itis | inflammation of the tonsils |
| lymph-oma | a lymph tumor; a general term referring to a cancerous (usually malignant) disorder of lymphoid tissue |
| immuno-o-gen-ic | pertaining to exemption producing; something that stimulates immunity |
| immun-o-globul-in | an exempt globule/"blob" (i.e. an antibody) |
| plasma | Clear, straw-colored liquid part of blood remaining after red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and other cellular components are removed. The largest component of human blood (about 55%) contains water, salts, enzymes, antibodies and proteins. |
| buffy coat | The light-colored layer of blood that is seen when anticoagulated blood is centrifuged or allowed to stand. It appears as a layer between the plasma and erythrocytes and is composed of leukocytes and platelets. |
| hematocrit tube | (hemato from the Greek haima = blood; crit from the Greek krinein = to separate) is the ratio of the volume of packed red blood cells to the total blood volume and is therefore also known as the packed cell volume, or PCV. |
| packed cell volume (PCV) | is a measurement of the proportion of blood that is made up of cells. The value is expressed as a percentage or fraction of cells in blood. |
| total protein (TP or TS) | is a biochemical test for measuring the total amount of protein in serum |
| refractometer | an instrument for measuring a refractive index. |
| neutrophils | polymorphonuclear- a type of white blood cell, a type of granulocyte, and a type of phagocyte. |
| eosinophils | a white blood cell containing granules that are readily stained by eosin. Marginal phagocytic abilities. Also polymorphonuclear. Allergic reactions and parasitic infections. |
| monocyte | a large phagocytic white blood cell with a simple oval nucleus and clear, grayish cytoplasm. Largest of the leukocytes. Basophilic staining chromatin pattern. Light grayish cytoplasm. |
| serum | the watery portion of an animal fluid remaining after coagulation |
| lymphatic system | tonsils, spleen, thymus, numerous glands, vessels, and cells that provide the body with immunity (resistance to disease) and destroys pathogens. |
| spleen | Similar in structure to a large lymph node, it acts primarily as a blood filter. The spleen plays important roles in regard to red blood cells (erythrocytes) and the immune system. |
| thymus | a small, irregular-shaped gland in the top part of the chest, just under the breastbone, between the lungs. Located in the mediastinum. Part of the lymphatic and endocrine system. Vital in the training and development of T-lymphocytes (T cells) |
| opsonization | turning pathogens into "usable food" for macrophages |
| Hemat-o-poietic | the production of all types of blood cells |
