🗑
Myelogenous   Pertaining to formed in the bone marrow  
🗑
Neutropenia   Deficiency in neutrophils.  
🗑
Mononuclear   Pertaining to a white blood cell with one large nucleus (monocyte or lymphocyte).

🗑
Monoblast   Immature white blood cell (monocyte).  
🗑
Erythroblast   Immature red blood cell.  
🗑
Macrocytosis   Abnormal condition (slight increase in numbers) of macrocytes (red blood cells that are larger than normal).  
🗑
Microcytosis   Abnormal condition (slight increase in numbers) of microcytes (red blood cells that are smaller than normal).  
🗑
Leukemia   Abnormal condition of white blood cells (increase in numbers of malignant cells).  
🗑

🗑
Eosinophilia   Increase in numbers of eosinophils.  
🗑
Neutrophilia   Increase in numbers of neutrophils.  
🗑
Electrophoresis   Separation of proteins in a solution by using an electric current (used to separate protein fractions of serum, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid).  
🗑
Hematopoiesis   Formation of blood cells.  
🗑
Erythropoiesis   Formation of erythrocytes.
