Hematology The study of blood and blood-forming tissues.
Blood Body fluid composed of formed elements and cells
suspended in plasma that circulates through the
cardiovascular system.
Plasma The liquid component of blood in which cells are suspended.
RBCs (erythrocytes) Red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen and
carbon dioxide.
WBCs (leukocytes) White blood cells that play a key role in the immune response.
Platelets (thrombocytes) Cell fragments involved in blood clotting.
, Spleen Organ that filters blood, supports the immune system, and
stores blood.
Lymph System System responsible for filtration and transporting excess fluids
from interstitial spaces to the blood.
Liver Organ that filters blood, stores excess iron, produces
hepcidin, and is essential in blood coagulation.
Bone Marrow Soft material located in the core of bones, site of blood cell
formation.
Red bone marrow Type of bone marrow where red blood cells are formed.
Yellow bone marrow Type of bone marrow that is typically not active and found in
the middle portion of long bones.
Needle aspiration of bone marrow Procedure performed in cases of severe anemia, neutropenia,
acute leukopenia, thrombocytopenia.
Hematopoiesis Blood cell formation that occurs within the bone marrow.
Erythrocytes Primarily composed of hemoglobin, with a life span of 80 - 120
days.
Erythropoiesis Process of RBC production stimulated by hypoxia.
Thrombocytes Platelets with a life span of 3-5 days.
Complete Blood Count Lab study that includes WBC + differential, RBC, Hemoglobin,
Hematocrit, and Platelet counts.
Normal WBC Value 4,000 - 11,000 uL
Normal Hct Value 40-50%
Normal Hgb Value 11.5-15.8 g/dL
Normal Platelet Count 150,000-400,000
Normal Albumin Value 3.5 - 5.5 g/dL
Normal INR Value 0.8 - 1.2
Normal Bilirubin Value 0.2 - 1.2 mg/dL
Normal Iron Value 50 - 175 ug/dL
Normal PT Value 11 - 13.5 seconds
Normal PTT Value 25 - 35 seconds
Normal Potassium Level 3.5-5.0 mEq/L
Blood Type & Cross-Matching Determined by antigens found on RBC and antibodies found
in serum.
