- 5. The process of blood clotting
- 7. Caused by medical treatment or diagnostic procedure
- 9. Deficient red cell production caused by a bone marrow disorder
- 13. A condition marked by an increased tendency to form blood clots within a blood vessel
- 14. A condition in which there are too few functioning red blood cells to meet the oxygen needs of tissues
- 15. Enlargement of the spleen
- 16. A yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes that reflects excessively high blood levels of bilirubin
- 17. An imbalance of formed elements in blood
- 20. A plasma protein that is converted into fibrin by thrombin in the presence of calcium ions
- 21. A condition of deficiency or absence of granulocytic white blood cells
- 22. A protein molecule that catalyzes chemical reactions of other substances without being altered or destroyed int he process
- 23. The volume percentage of red blood cells in whole blood

- 1. Substances that prevent or delay coagulation of the blood
- 2. An irregularly shaped, blue -black discoloration caused by bleeding beneath the skin
- 3. Diminished blood volume
- 6. A reduction in the number of leukocytes in the blood to 5000/mm3 or less
