-penia - ANSWERdecrease in the number of cells.
-cytosis - ANSWERincrease in the number of cells.
leukocytosis - ANSWERabnormal increase of circulating white blood cells.
leukocytosis - ANSWERIs a transient response to inflammation and or infection.
leukocytosis - ANSWERcommonly seen with bacterial infections.
Leucopenia - ANSWERAbnormal decrease in the number of circulating white blood cells.
Leucopenia - ANSWERSeen in Tuberculosis, measles, mumps and influence.
Anemia - ANSWERDecrease in Red Blood Cells and amount of Hemoglobin or a combination of both.
Decrease in Red Blood cell production
Increase in Red Blood cell destruction
Loss of Red Blood cells - ANSWERCauses of Aneima
pall (paleness) in the mucous membranes
fatigue and weakness (decreased oxygen delivery to tissues)
Dyspnea
Trachycardia - ANSWERSymptoms of Aneima
Dyspnea - ANSWERshortness of breath
, Trachycardia - ANSWERincreased heart rate
hemoglobin - ANSWERthe transport protein that carries oxygen to the tissues by blood.
hemotopoiesis - ANSWERthe normal formation and development of blood cells in red bone marrow
hematopoietic disorders - ANSWERdisorders that arise as a result of unregulated proliferation of blood stem
cells.
Leukemia - ANSWERgroup of malignant diseases characterized by replacement of bone marrow with
proliferating WBC.
Leukemia - ANSWERIs actually a malignant tumor of the blood forming tissues.
Leukemia - ANSWERcharacterized by an uncontrolled over production of WBC-prevents the immature blood
cells (erythroblasts) from maturing into erythrocytes.
Leukemia - ANSWERThere is a reduction in erythrocytosis and a decrease in platelets (thrombocytes).
Leukemia - ANSWERconsidered to be cancer of the blood or cancer of WBC.
