-white blood cells
-five different types divided into two categories: granulocytes & mononuclear leukocytes
hemoglobin

-occurs when the pituitary gland produces an excess amount of growth hormone after the completion of puberty
pituitary gland
attached to the base of brain, controls growth and development and functioning of other endocrine glands
laparoscopy
-minimal invasive surgery
-visual examination of the abdominal cavity using a laparoscope
-used to examine abdominal viscera for evidence of disease or various procedure
laparoscope

adenoids
-small masses of lymphatic tissue
-located in the pharynx near the nose and nasal passages
- called “resembling glands” because they’re neither endocrine nor exocrine glands
-adenoidectomy will be needed if they enlarged and block the airway from nose to pharynx
