Parent topics
- Body fluids [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Physiology [r]: The study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of tissues and how they interact. [e]
- Hematology [r]: In broad terms, the study of the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the blood and blood-forming tissues; also a subspecialty of internal medicine dealing with the diseases of these tissues [e]
Subtopics
- Blood cells [r]: In blood, the cells suspended in plasma; the primary types being erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets [e]
- Complete blood count [r]: A basic set of counts and ratios of various blood cells, which can be both individually and jointly valuable in medical diagnosis [e]
- Erythrocyte [r]: Blood cells that carry hemoglobin [e]
- Erythrocyte indices [r]: A set of three clinically useful parameters calculated from measurements of erythrocytes, usually reported with a complete blood count [e]
- Reticulocyte [r]: An immature erythrocyte (i.e., red blood cell), of which small numbers may be present in circulating blood; elevated percentages, or a lack of them when other factors are abnormal, suggest a disorder of erythropoiesis. [e]
- Leukocyte [r]: Colourless cells of the immune system which defend the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials, and grouped into neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes. [e]
- Basophil [r]: A circulating leukocyte which, when sensitized to a specific antigen by means of an immunoglobulin E molecule bound to its surface, will release physiologically potent chemicals on recognizing that antigen [e]
- Eosinophil [r]: A leukocyte (white blood cell), the number of which rise in inflammatory disorders and parasitic infections [e]
- Neutrophil [r]: Leukocytes (white blood cells) whose primary role is in the cell-mediated immune system, where they destroy hostile substance by phagocytosis. They do release interleukin-12. [e]
- Monocyte [r]: Large, phagocytic mononuclear leukocytes produced in the vertebrate bone marrow and released into the blood; contain a large, oval or somewhat indented nucleus surrounded by voluminous cytoplasm and numerous organelles (Medical Subject Headings); they are the precursors of non-circulating macrophages [e]
- Lymphocyte [r]: Leukocyte originating in lymphoid tissues, fundamental to the immune system, regulating and participating in acquired immunity, with receptor molecules on its surface that bind to a specific antigen. [e]
- Platelet [r]: Cell fragments circulating in the blood. [e]
- Plasma (biology) [r]: The residual portion of blood that is left after removal of blood cells by centrifugation without prior coagulation; contains proteins, colloids, cytokines, electrolytes [e]
- Blood gas analysis [r]: Test which measures the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, as well as the acidity (pH) of the blood. [e]
- Coagulation [r]: The process of the interaction of blood coagulation factors that results in an insoluble fibrin clot. [e]
