Study Notes
Hematology Basics
- Hematology is the study of blood cells and coagulation.
- Hematology analyses include complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistry tests, and coagulation studies.
Components of Blood
- Blood refers to a liquid tissue that circulates in the body, consisting of plasma and formed elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets).
- Plasma is the liquid portion of blood, making up about 55% of total blood volume.
- Serum is the liquid portion of blood that remains after blood has clotted, and all blood cells and clotting factors have been removed.
Key Terms and Definitions
- Hematology: the study of blood cells and coagulation.
- Blood: a liquid tissue that circulates in the body, consisting of plasma and formed elements.
- Serum: the liquid portion of blood that remains after blood has clotted, and all blood cells and clotting factors have been removed.
