‘haematopoietic cell’
.
‘hemo-cyte’
.
‘hemato-cyte’
‘corpuscle’
(a ‘small’ + ‘free-floating’ biological cell)
(especially a ‘blood cell’)
.
(the cell is produced via ‘hematopoiesis’ + found mainly in the ‘blood’)
.
“erythro-cytes”
(aka “red blood cells”)
.
“leuko-cytes”
(aka “white blood cells”)
.
“thrombo-cytes”
(aka “platelets”)
.
(together, these 3 kinds of ‘blood cells’ add up to a total 45% of the ‘blood tissue’ (by ‘volume’), with the remaining 55% of the ‘volume’ composed of ‘plasma’ (the liquid component of ‘blood’))
.
(the ‘volume percentage’ of ‘red blood cells’ in the ‘blood’ (‘hematocrit’) is measured by ‘centrifuge’ (or ‘flow cytometry’) and is 45% of “cells to total volume” in ‘males’ and 40% in ‘females’)
.
(“haemoglobin” (the main component of ‘red blood cells’) is an ‘iron-containing protein’ that facilitates transportation of ‘oxygen’ from the ‘lungs’ to ’tissues’ + ‘carbon dioxide’ from ’tissues’ to the ‘lungs’)
.
(“pulmonary circulation” is the ‘flow’ of ‘blood’ from your ‘heart’ to your ‘lungs’ + back to the ‘heart’)
