The Haematopoietic & Lymphoid Systems
Erythrocytes
* Haematocrit
* MCV - size of RBC
* MCH - Hb content
* MCHC - Hb content
* Anaemia - decreased RBC’s/Hb conc.
* Anisocytosis - variation in size
* Poikilocytosis - abnormal shape
* Polycythemia - increased RBC’s
Leukocytes
* Granulocytes - neutrophil; basophil; eosinophil
* Agranulocytes - lymphocytes; monocytes
* Leukocytosis - increased WBC’s
* Neutrophilia
* Monocytosis
* Eosinophilia
* Basophilia
* Lymphocytosis
* Leukopaenia - decresed WBC’s
* Neutropaenia
* Pancytopaenia
* lymphoaenia
Platelets
* Thrombocytopaenia
* Decreased platelets
* Thrombocytosis
* Increased platelets
Haemopoiesis
* Sites of Haemopoiesis
* Haemopoietic stem cells
* Erythropoiesis
* Leukopoiesis
* Megakaryocytopoiesis
* Blood cells kinetics
* Control of haemopoiesis
* Haemoglobin
