- 3. Presence of hemoglobin in urine, indicating breakdown of red blood cells and potential health issues.
- 4. The vital fluid circulating in the body, transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste products.
- 5. Inadequate oxygen supply to tissues, potentially leading to various health issues. Agglutination The clumping together of cells, often seen in blood transfusion reactions or certain laboratory tests.
- 6. Immature red blood cells in the bone marrow, undergoing development before entering circulation.
- 8. Type Classification based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells.
- 11. The process of red blood cell production, occurring primarily in the bone marrow.
- 13. The percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells, a key measure in blood analysis.
- 14. White blood cells crucial for immune defense, combating infections and maintaining overall health.
- 16. The medical procedure of puncturing a vein with a needle, often done for blood collection or intravenous therapy.
- 19. Tissue The bone marrow and other tissues involved in the production of blood cells, including erythrocytes and leukocytes. Hematologists Medical professionals specializing in the study and treatment of blood-related disorders.
- 20. Green pigment formed during the breakdown of heme in old red blood cells.
- 21. Yellow pigment produced from the breakdown of hemoglobin, processed by the liver, and excreted in bile.
- 22. The production of white blood cells, critical for immune system function.

- 1. Also Known as platelets, these blood cells play a vital role in blood clotting and wound healing.
- 2. Protein responsible for transporting iron in the blood, crucial for various physiological functions.
- 7. Antibodies that cause agglutination, playing a role in blood type compatibility and transfusion reactions.
- 9. Disc-shaped cells carrying oxygen, lacking a nucleus, vital for the circulatory system.
- 10. The process of breaking down red blood cells, often resulting in the release of hemoglobin.
- 12. Iron-containing protein in red blood cells, crucial for oxygen transport and giving blood its red color.
- 15. Hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production in response to low oxygen level
- 17. The formation of platelets, essential for blood clotting and maintaining hemostasis.
- 18. A condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin, resulting in fatigue and weakness.
