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.

Matching Exercises

  • Hematology: study of blood cells and coagulation
  • Hemostasis: the process of stopping bleeding
  • Erythropoiesis: the production of red blood cells
  • Leukopoiesis: the production of white blood cells
  • Thrombosis: the formation of blood clots
  • Hema: blood
  • Logos: study
  • Poiesis: production
