|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hematocrit | Percentage of total blood volume that is composed of red blood cells.
🗑
|
||||
| Hemoglobin | Essential molecule of the red blood cell that serves as the binding site for oxygen and carbon dioxide; composed of two molecules: globin and heme.
🗑
|
||||
| Hemolysis | Rupture of red blood cells as a result of disease or old age.
🗑
|
||||
| Hemostasis | Sequence of events that cause a blood clot to form and bleeding to stop.
🗑
|
||||
| Plasma | Liquid component of blood.
🗑
|
||||
| Platelets | Part of the formed elements of the blood; play a vital role in blood clotting.
🗑
|
||||
| Red Blood Cells | Contain hemoglobin, a protein responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange; erythoctes.
🗑
|
||||
| White Blood Cells | Fight Infection and protect the body through various mechanisms; leukocytes.
🗑
|
||||
| Agglutination | Red blood cells clumping together usually in response to an antibody; can block small blood vessels and cause hemolysis.
🗑
|
||||
| Antibody | Cells that circulate in plasma and attack red blood cells with foreign antigens or antigens that are different from those of the host.
🗑
|
||||
| Antigen | Protein on the surface of RBCs that is used to identify blood type; a molecule on the surface of cells that identifies cells as either "self" or "nonself" cells.
🗑
|
||||
| Erythoblastosis | A severe hemolytic disease of a fetus or newborn caused by the production of maternal antibodies against the fetal red blood cell antigens, usually involving RH incompatibility between the mother and fetus.
🗑
|
||||
| Rh Factor | Antigen of the Rh blood group that is found on the surface of red blood cells; people with the Rh factor are Rh positive and those lacking it are Rh negative.
🗑
|
||||
| RhoGAM | Immune serum that prevents a mother's blood from becoming sensitized to foreign antibodies from her fetus.
🗑
|
||||
| Universal Donor | Someone with type O blood, type O has no antigens that an be attacked by the host's blood, so it can be donated to anyone.
🗑
|
||||
| Universal Recipient | Someone with type AB blood; type AB blood has neither A or B antibodies, so a universal recipient can safely receive a transfusion of any blood type.
🗑
|
||||
| ALL | Most common form of leukemia in adults over 70, overproduction of lymphocytes.
🗑
|
||||
| AML | Most common form of leukemia in adults, develops when the bone marrow produces too many myeloblasts,
🗑
|
||||
| Anemia | A condition characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or an insufficient amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells.
🗑
|
||||
| CLL | Leukemia characterized by extremely high levels of lymphocytes; most often found in middle-age adults.
🗑
|
||||
| CML | Form of leukemia characterized by overproduction of granulocytes.
🗑
|
||||
| Hemophilia | Blood does not clot properly due to the absence of a clotting factor.
🗑
|
||||
| Iron-Deficient Anemia | Most common anemia; caused by an insufficient dietary intake of iron, loss of iron from intestinal bleeding, or iron-level depletion during pregnancy.
🗑
|
||||
| Jaundice | Blood disorder characterized by yellow-colored skin and whites of the eyes.
🗑
|
||||
| Leukemia | Cancer caused by the production of an extremely high number of immature white blood cells in the bone marrow.
🗑
|
||||
| Pernicious Anemia | Severe anemia caused by the inability of the intestines to absorb vitamin B12 which is essential for the formation of red blood cells, often occurs in older adults.
🗑
|
||||
| Phlebotomy | Drawing of blood; standard treatment for polycythemia.
🗑
|
||||
| Polycythemia | Condition in which the bone marrow manufactures too many red blood cells, caused by prolonged altitude exposure and a genetic mutation.
🗑
|
||||
| Sickle Cell Anemia | Disease in which the red blood cells are shaped like a sickle or crescent rather than a disk; caused by irregularly shaped hemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells,
🗑
