Oral Path

marked decrease in the muber of granulocytes, particularly neutrophils

reduction of the number of red blood cells, quantity of hemoglobin, or volume of packed red blood cells to less than normal

lack of development

severe pain in a joint

the process by which lipid accumulates within the walls of large and medium sized arteries. It leads to reduced blood flow to and death of vital organs

immume-mediated destruction of the body's own cells and tissues; immunity against self.

component of metabolism that involves the breakdown of tissues

formation of a clot

small, flat, hemorrhagic pathc larger than a petechia on the skin or mucous membrane

insoluble protein that is essential to the clotting of blood

volume percentage of red blood cells in whole blood

release of hemoglobin from red blood cells by destructino of the cells

stoppage or cessation of bleeding

enlargement of the liver

secreted molecules produced in the body that have a specific regulatory action on target cells that are distant from their sites of synthesis; an endocrine _________ is frequently carried by the blood from its site of release to its target,

excess calcium in the blood

excess glucose in the blood

stained less intensely than normal

deficiency of phosphates in the blood

hormone produced in the pancreas by the cells in the islets of Langerhans; insulin regulates glucose metabolism and is the major fuel regulating hormone

profound hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, that necessitates emergency intervention

accumulation of acid in the body resulting from the accumulation of ketone bodies

red blood cell that is smaller than normal

muscle pain

decreased number of neutrophils in the blood

abnormal rarefaction of bone

parathyroid hormone

minute red spot on the skin or mucous membrane caused by escape of a small amount of blood

disc-shaped structure, also called a thrombocyte, found in the blood; it plays an important role in blood coagulation

increase in the total red blood cell mass in the blood

chronic excessive thirst and intake of fluid

blood disorders characterized by purplish or brownish-red discolorations caused by bleeding into the skin or tissues

cell surface protein to which a specific normone can bind; such binding leads to biochemical events

enlargement of the spleen

platelet

decrease in the number of platelets circulating in the blood
