chyl/o   show
🗑
blood   show
🗑
plasma   show
🗑
show liquid portion of the blood that remains after clotting  
🗑
red blood cells / erythrocyte   show
🗑
show the protein-iron compound in erythrocytes that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide  
🗑
(PMN) polymorphonuclear leukocyte   show
🗑
basophil   show
🗑
eosinophil   show
🗑
monocyte   show
🗑
show an agranulocytic leukocyte that is active in the process of immunity; the three categories of lymphocytes are T cells (thymus) B cells (bone marrow) and natural killer cells; normal range in stained blood smear:25-33%  
🗑
platelets / thrombocytes   show
🗑
show consist of lymph vessels, nodes, and tissues through which lymph drains into the blood  
🗑
show primary gland of the lymphatic system, located within the mediastinum, that helps to maintain the body's immune response by producing T lymphocytes  
🗑
show organ between the stomach and the diaphragm that filters out aging blood cells, removes cellular debris by phagocytosis, and provides an environment for lymphocytes to initiate immune response  
🗑
lymph   show
🗑
show microscopic vessels that draw lymph from tissues to the lymph vessels  
🗑
lymph vessels / lymphatic vessels   show
🗑
lacteals   show
🗑
show white or pale yellow substance in lymph that contains fatty substances absorbed by the lacteals  
🗑
show many small, oval structures that filter lymph from the lymph vessels; major locations include, cervical, axillary, and inguinal regions  
🗑
show collecting channels that carry lymph from the lymph nodes to the veins  
🗑
show receives lymph from the left side of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, left arm, and lower extremities  
🗑
show presence of red blood cells of unequal size  
🗑
show presence of large irregularly shaped red blood cells  
🗑
show an increased number of immature erythrocytes in the blood  
🗑
show an abnormally reduced number of all cellular components in the blood  
🗑
immunosuppression   show
🗑
aplastic anemia   show
🗑
show a microcytic-hypochromic type of anemia characterized by a lack of iron that affects the production of hemoglobin and is characterized by small red blood cells containing low amounts of hemoglobin  
🗑
show a macrocytic-normochromic type of anemia characterized by an inadequate supply of vitamin B12, causing red blood cells to become large, varied in shape, and reduced in number  
🗑
show a disorder that results from the incompatibility of a fetus with Rh-positive blood and a mother with Rh-negative blood, causing red blood cell destruction in the fetus; a blood transfusion is necessary to save the fetus.  
🗑
show the antigen on the surface of the red blood cells on the Rh blood group system; its presence can cause a reaction between Rh positive and Rh negative blood  
🗑
hemochromatosis   show

show a group of hereditary bleeding disorders caused by a defect in clotting factors necessary for the coagulation of blood  
🗑
show chronic or acute malignant disease of the blood forming organs, characterized by abnormal leukocytes in the blood and bone marrow  
🗑
show disorder within the bone marrow characterized by a proliferation of abnormal stem cells; usually develops into a specific type of leukemia  
🗑
show any neoplastic disorder of lymph tissue, usually malignant, as in Hodgkin disease  
🗑
show increased number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in the blood  
🗑
CD4 cell count   show
🗑
show a timed test that measures the rate at which red blood cells settle through a volume of plasma  
🗑
show protein substance in the blood that is essential to the clotting process  
🗑
show test to measure activity of prothrombin in the blood  
🗑
thromboplastin   show
🗑
show test to determine coagulation defects, such as platelet disorders  
🗑
