- Protein substances whose formation by lymphocytes is stimulated by the presence of antigens in the body. Helps to neutralize the antigen that stimulated its formation.
- heparin
- an anticoagulant produced by liver cells and found in blood and tissues
- antigens

-
an infectious disease evidenced by increased numbers of lymphocytes and enlarged cervical lymph nodes
"kissing disease" - electrophoresis
- method of separating substances (such as proteins) by electrical charge
- erythr/o
-
red
ex: erythrocytopenia-
red cell deficiency - differentiation
- change in structure and function of a cell as it matures; specialization
- -apheresis
-
removal, carry away
ex: plasmapheresis-
removal of plasma - poikil/o
-
varied, irregular

iron
ex: sideropenia-
deficiency in iron - is/o
-
same, equal
ex: anisocytosis-
condition of unequal size in cells - formed elements
- the cellular elements in blood
- leuk/o
-
white
ex: leukocytopenia-
deficiency of white blood cells - kary/o
-
nucleus
ex: megakaryocyte-
enlarged nucleus in a cell - erythropoietin
- a hormone secreted by the kidney that stimulates bone marrow to make red blood cells
- fibrin
- protein threads that form the basis of a blood clot
- pernicious anemia
- not enough red blood cells due to inablity to absorb vitamen B12 into the body
