Buffy coat, <1% white cells and platelets
-neutrophils
-lymphocytes
-monocytes
-eosinophils
-basophils
-platelets
45% red cells
white cells name
leucocytes
platelets name
thrombocytes
red cells name
erythrocytes
types of white blood cell

lymphocytes
monocytes
eosinophils
basophils
all blood cells either come from which stem cells
myeloid progenitor
lymphoid progenitor
blood cells that come from a myeloid progenitor
thrombocytes
erythrocytes
basophil
neutrophil
eosinophil
monocytes
blood cells that come from a lymphoid progenitor
natural killer cell (large granular lymphocyte)
B lymphocyte
T lymphocyte
which blood cells fall into the granulopoiesis category
basophils
neutrophils
eosinophils
which is the most common type of white blood cell
neutrophils
how would you know if leukaemia is present
is only myeloblasts are found in the blood
name this blood cell
neutrophil
name the blood cell
eosinophil on the left
lymphocyte on the white
looks like a tomato with sunglasses on
has red granules
name the blood cell
basophil
rarest type of blood cell
has blue drops inside to identify easier
name the blood cell
monocyte
almost foetus shaped
name the blood cell
blast cell
has no defining features
blank canvas
big nucleus
small hole which is the nucleolus
Hct
haematocrit
proportion of blood made up of red blood cells
RBC
red blood cell count
number of red blood cells
MCV
mean corpuscular volume (fL)
average size of your red blood cells
affected by different types of anemia
Hb
haemoglobin
concentration of haemoglobin in the blood
MCH
mean corpuscular haemoglobin (pg)
RDW
red cell distribution width
calculation of the variation in the size of RBCs
in some anemias the amount of variation in the RBC causes an increase in the RDW
how to calculate MCV
Hct/RBC
how to calculate MCH
Hb/RBC
