| Hemoglobin is… | The oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells |
| Hemophilia - | Hereditary coagulation disorder where the blood doesn’t clot normally |
| Hypoxia | Low oxygen |
| Idiopathic means | There’s no known cause |
| Hydrostatic pressure | The pressure exerted by a fluid due to the force of gravity |
| Lymphoid organ | A component of the system in which lymph circulates throughout the whole body |
| Osmosis- | Fluid diffusion in a membrane of the low concentrated solute,,, to a membrane of high concentrated solute to achieve equilibrium. |
