HA hemolytic anemia
Erythrocyte: carries oxygen from lungs to peripheral tissues
Reticulocyte: immature erythrocyte Neutrophil: granulocyte integral in innate
immunity; main cell in acute inflammation
Eosinophil: involved in response to parasites (especially helminths) and allergic response
Basophil: granulocyte mainly involved in allergy and parasitic infection
Lymphocyte: integral cell in adaptive immunity
Monocyte: involved in innate immunity; can differentiate into macrophage or dendritic cell
Platelet: mediator of primary hemostasis
Plasma: liquid component of blood containing water, proteins, coagulation factors, and immunoglobulins
Serum: equivalent to plasma minus clotting factors and fibrinogen
