Plasma Fluid portion of blood 55% Contains albumin, globulin, fibrinogen... necessary for clotting Electrolytes, waste products, and nutrients
Decreased Hemoglobin level Pallor,
Neutrophils WBC capable of phagocytosis; primary defense against bacterial infection
Myeloid Stem Cell Responsible for the production of red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets
Cytokines Proteins from leukocytes, vital to regulate hematopoiesis, apoptosis, and immune responses
Erythrocyte Red blood cell Involved in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide to body tissues
Erythropoiesis Process that involves the formation of RBCs Helps Bbone marrow in the production of blood cells
Erythropoietin Hormone produced by the kidney It's necessary for erythropoiesis

Oxyhemoglobin O2 and hemoglobin found in arterial blood
Phagocytosis Process of cellular ingestion and digestion of foreign bodies
Plasminogen Protein that forms plasmin to dissolve thrombi and clots
Platelet AKA thrombocyte Involved in blood coagulation
RBC AKA erythrocyte Involved in the transport of O2 and CO2
Stem cell Primitive cell, capable of self-replication and differentiation into myeloid or lymphoid stem cell
Bone marrow Site of hematopoiesis 4-5% of total body weight Vascular Involves the pelvis, ribs, vertebrae, and sternum
Extramedullary hematopoiesis Process in which the liver and the spleen resume production of blood when there is a marrow destruction, fibrosis, or scarring
