Plasma proteins are called albumin
Chemical structures that carry a positive or negative charge in the blood that include sodium, potassium, chloride, and calcium, are called electrolytes
The process by which all the formed elements in blood are produced is called hematopoesis
Immature blood cells are called stem cells
A red blood cell is called an erythrocyte
A white blood cell is called a leukocyte
THe red iron-containing molecule in the blood is called hemoglobin
Hemoglobin bound to oxygen is known as oxyhemoglobin
The hormone secreted by the kidneys that increases the speed at which erythrocytes are produced and become mature is called erythropoietin

The fluid portion of the plasma that remains after the clotting factors are activated to form a blood clot is called serum
The body's continuing immune response and defense against pathogens that is has seen before is called active immunity
THe fluid that flows through the lymphatic system is called lymph
