Differential Count   Count of 100 WBCs on a stained smear for the purpose of determining the approximate percentage of each type of WBC  
🗑
Complete Blood Count (CBC)   Group of blood tests that include hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC and WBC counts, differential count, platelet count or estimate and RBC indicies  
🗑
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)   Measurement of how far red cells fall in a given amount of blood in 1 hour  
🗑
Thrombocyte   Platelets; necessary for coagulation/clotting  
🗑
Normocyte   Normal sized cell  
🗑

🗑
Leukocyte   AKA WBC; main function is immunity to fight infection  
🗑
Lymphocyte   Smallest WBC; contains no granules in cytoplasm; elevated in viral infections  
🗑
Serum   Liquid portion of blood after clotting takes place; contains no coagulation factors  
🗑
Hematocrit   Percentage of packed RBCs in total volume of blood  
🗑
Hemoglobin   Iron pigment on RBC that carries oxygen  
🗑
Mean Corpuscular Value (MCV)   A measure of the average volume of a red blood corpuscle (or RBC).  
🗑
Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)   The average mass of hemoglobin per red blood cell in a sample of blood
